Our iPhone 4 and iOS 4 optimizing frenzy has only begun, but GPS navigation apps seem to be one of the largest affected by the new abilities. The iPhone 4's new Retina display makes things so much crisper and iOS 4 gives developers some great new multitasking abilities. Since ALK Technologies is all about making your navigation needs easier and safer,
CoPilot Live now supports the Retina display, background audio, and background location services.
What does this all mean?
CoPilot Live keeps track of your current position and continues providing voice guidance, even if you move to another app. Need to double check that email, look up a phone number, or verify you still have a reservation at the hotel? Know that you can safely and quickly switch to another application and not miss any upcoming turn by providing push notifications -- primarily useful during phone calls -- and voice instructions. Once you're finished, easily and quickly switch back to exactly where you left off to continue visual guidance.
Not sure if
CoPilot is for you? ALK Technologies offers a free 30-day version with U.S. and Canada map data but all 14 region specific versions of
CoPilot Live for iPhone have been updated with these great features for your convenience.
Multitasking features are only available on the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4. Visual improvement with crisper interface is only available on iPhone 4. You can click on the above screenshot to get a better look at a full size iPhone 4 screen capture.
While these great new features will help improve your navigation and iPhone experience, please exercise safe driving habits.
