Press Release
ALK Technologies Announces FREE CoPilot GPS App
New off-line route planning and local exploring app announced for iOS & Android Devices
Mobile World Congress – Barcelona, 27th February 2012 – Today ALK Technologies Inc., one of the world’s leading developers of mobile navigation software, announced CoPilot GPS – a FREE route planning and mapping app for iPhone, iPad and Android devices.
CoPilot GPS makes it easy to find places you need and provides the best route to the door. Search the pre-installed points of interest for nearby restaurants, hotels and shops. Find local businesses and attractions using Bing and Wikipedia. There’s no need to rely on a mobile connection – detailed street maps of a country or region are stored on your smartphone or tablet, so CoPilot GPS still works even in off-line mode.
Once you’ve selected your destination, CoPilot GPS calculates a choice of routes with turn directions, distance and travel time for each. Advanced itinerary planning features usually reserved for premium paid navigation apps mean that you can enter up to 50 stops and CoPilot will find the best way to go.

• Maps stored on-board your smartphone or tablet for off-line use
