ALK Technologies makes GPS based navigation software (CoPilot Live) for windows Mobile only (not for Palm OS or Symbian) and it even has their own maps of USA altough in Europe it licences maps from NavTeq company. Here we present audio interview with representative of ALK Technologies from UK: CoPilot Live - navigation software from ALK Technologies is very sophisticated and it offers some unique features like for example ability to track user remotely through GPRS (although map data is on SD card). Here is a sample screen shot of CoPilot Live for Microsoft Smartphone: Here is a list of some issues discussed in this interview: location tracking through GPRS why CoPilot Live is particularly well suited for mobile operators reporting traffic jams to the phone through GPRS instant messaging to the navigation system 2D view and 3D view lack of weather reporting (looks like the only disadvantage of this program) observing location of a car with CoPilot at web portal of ALK Technologies - sharing location by giving a direct link to location of such car being tracked possibility to route seemlessly through whole Europe without the need to switch cards - because maps for whole Europe have 700 MB and can be thus placed on a 1GB SD card - no need to switch maps ! samples of texts spoken by CoPilot Live program searching for specific hotel in Nice (France) in the CoPilot software - either through searching by street name or point of interest (POI) name routing for people who are moving by foot (walking) not by car: walking mode - how it works CoPilot as high-end navigation product - not low-end product that is sold at grocery stores To learn more about CoPilot visit web site of ALK Technologies.
