CoPilot tablet satnav

I was thinking about getting the Co-Pilot app but a £100pa subscription has crystallised the decision.

The caravan/motorhome version is £26 per year, I think the higher subscription is for the commercial truck version.

I now use the latest version of my CoPilot on my mobile phone and find it works just as well as the earlier version did on a mini-iPad.

CY, its hard to spot the difference between the three versions available. The Caravan version should meet your requirements and as DM says the subscription is £26p.a. for this verson inclusive of world maps and "traffic"

As a newbie to motorhoming and travelling from Merseyside to Dorset with a couple of stops on both outward and home bound journeys I downloaded the app free for 14 days using it on my iPhone. I have used a Garmin sat nav in the past and also use the one in my car and I must say even the free version (for 14 days) has been excellent and I will definitely buy the full version which I think is £39.99 , much cheaper then buying a sat nav. I entered all the dimensions of our  motorhome and it then calculates the best routes. Hope this helps.

Sadly, the new company selling CoPilot no longer sell the perpetual version of the CoPilot caravan app. It is now bundled with CoPilot GPS and requires an annual fee (£25.99). Seems a lot for an repeat annual subscription - and less attractive as an accumulative cost?  

Sad I know, I was fortunate in that I purchased the Apps outright before the latest change. Have a look at Sygic it is recommended by some.

10 days ago I had to take a diversion,  police closed the main road. I was by chance running both the caravan version and the truck version to my destination.  The truck version gave me the better alternative route, the Caravan version kept trying to send me on narrow country roads back to the closed main road. I had both versions set to my vans size and weight.

I paid £49 for co-pilot caravan 18 months ago and not been asked for any more.

Mac, From memory, I think the standard CoPilot app is free, but if you wish to upgrade to the caravan/motor home version (to allow tailoring for vehicle size etc) its £25.99 for a year subscription.

there are different apps to run on android or Apple tablets.

an SD Card is a slot-in memory card, used to avoid clogging up the tablet/phone memory. Of course, you can only use a SD Card if the device has a slot in which to insert it. Not all devices do.

Ive only ever used CoPilot when using a (4G) phone signal. So cannot comment if it works ok offline. In my experience, it doesn’t necessarily reroute to avoid questionable routes, but warns of likely restrictions, ie “your route includes unmade up roads at.....”. Maybe it would avoid absolute no-no’s (eg bridge too low) but I’ve never experienced it.

It works fine off line, you only need to be on line if you want traffic to influence your route.
