These offer subsidised hardware, pre-installed navigation software in a totally connected environment. Possibly the most significant of these are the bundles released by mobile phone operators. In a move similar to that started by Intel, and copied by a number of others since, we are starting to see a number of boxes with 'CoPilot Inside' appearing in a number of outlets. These ranged from mobile phones through connected PDAs to PNDs. What I was shown though was a plethora of new bundles of CoPilot 6 and CoPilot Live 6 on a variety of hardware platforms.
Unfortunately the meeting was not to discuss CoPilot Live 7 (honest, nothing was mentioned about any new software). In eager anticipation of new exciting software I made my way to the ALK London office on a cold and wet wednesday morning. So it was nice to receive a call from the CoPilot Marketing Director to see if we could have a meeting. We have not heard a lot from the guys at ALK since the Gumball Rally earlier this year.
