Can't display points along route more than a few miles unless you search by name. If you know the names of truckstop and other locations along your route, why would you need to search. We need to be able to see all possible stops along our route in unfamiliar areas. The traffic info is pretty useless. A bar showing traffic on your current route, but the map doesn't display traffic on alternate roads for a visual comparison. I don't know if it would reroute you along a quicker path. Unhelpful

App locks up downloading maps... Can't get past that... Got that part fixed. Reinstalled twice. Now. Entering destination is too convoluted. In Google, waze and others I just say where I want to go and I get a map... With copilot and sygic I have to enter it manually in a certain order and it takes time and effort.... Take a hint from the others and get voice input....entering a destination is a pain in the ass.... I'm done with it...

Would like to use it for an RV. Used to be able to, but RV settings are gone. Searching on internet shows it possible, but nothing showing HOW to enable RV settings. The web site even shows RV settings, but no explanation on where they are and how to enable them. This "improvement" is not really better, just so Trimble MAPS knows. No contact from Trimble, even though I left a ticket. This used to be a great app, but the removal of RV settings along with road and speed preferences make it just another app. What funny is when you search for RV GPS app, this still shows up, even though you cannot actually use it for that. If Trimble ever contacts me and explains how to use the RV feature that seems to have been removed, I will revisit the rating. For now, it is just a one star rating and is no better than any number of GPS apps.

I wrote a review and was told I needed to be more specific. I mapped from Montana to Texas. Ww stay at RV campgrounds along the way. When I am in Plan my trip and search for campgrounds along the route, only a few show up. I google RV campgrounds out of the app and find one (not on the list) and only then can add it using the address. Not at all convenient! I also searched for for upcoming rest areas while driving and they don't show up on the list. Then we pass a rest area. Useless App.

Got this dirt cheap during my Windows Mobile 5.x - 7.8 days. Worked offline and perfect. Today, not as perfect but very good. It wants to lock on to one route and reroute me to it if I opt to improvise along the way which Google will on the fly. I want a GPS app that will work without cellular service when camping or in the middle of nowhere. To that end with my section of the country, it's terrific. I particularly like the compass and elevation options.

I have been using this app since it was CoPilot USA and then CoPilot RV. This app has had its problems with navigation but the latest update has made it even worse! Now when it starts, it stops in the middle of the title screen and goes dark. Restarting once or twice gets it started but it has then reset the voice guidance setting (even though the voice screen shows the correct voice chosen - street name with turn by turn voice directions - but what you hear is the male no street name voice. You find this out as you are driving and it starts giving voice directions, resulting in having to find a place to pull over and reset the voice. As in the past this app routes the wrong way down one way streets, does not reroute around heavy traffic conditions, and RV routing only routes for restricted roads and puts the RV on roads no RV should be driving on. The last trip with this navigating it took me right into hours of stopped traffic when there were alternative routes. POIs are extremely limited. If the next update does not correct the starting and voice reset, this app is useless for navigation - for an RV or a car! I will reconsider my rating with the next update.

I've been using this as my primary navigation app for almost five years. I find it to be very easy to use and very customizable. My only complaint is that in a recent update, the developer removed the settings where I could specify my typical driving speed on different types of roads. After this change, I've noticed that the estimated ETA is not as accurate as it used to be. Before this setting was removed, when taking a 2 hour drive, the estimated ETA and the actual ETA would usually be less the 5 minutes apart. Now, the estimated ETA is about 15 minutes greater than the actual ETA. Please bring back this setting.

Frustrating. Was considering purchasing a commercial license for this app but figured I'd give it a try first. Glad I did. If you're looking for something to give you guidance on truck stops or rest stops or even if a fueling station will accommodate your rig, this is not the app for you. Navigating the help section is nearly impossible. I accidentally found a help section that I was looking for only to find out it wouldn't help. Could go on but out of space. Stick with Google, at least its free.

Excellent Navigation Software! While it is not as feature rich as Waze or GMaps (it does have an active traffic service) It's main feature is that it requires no data service to function as all the mapping is locally stored. This may make the maps a little less current as far as stores and locations but if you need to get from point A to point B and you have a limited data package or bad reception to cell towers this app is a life saver. Missing Android Auto support though.

I've been using CoPilot for several years. It suits my needs, the price is reasonable, maps are updated frequently. I spend too much time in areas without cell service. Having the maps loaded on my device is a life saver. I seldom rate products and I'm one who thinks there is always opportunity for improvement so nobody should ever receive more than four stars. This is one software that has always worked for me.

Paid for the "premium" version of this & used it infrequently for the past couple of years, always found it to perform exactly as expected. Immediately following the update, I found the maps I had previously downloaded no longer functioned, controls to be unintuitive and any attempt to enter a new destination is met with the message "this is a premium feature, one year subscription $11.99" so now the app for which I paid is entirely useless! Deleted it & am now using "Waze". Greed loses again!

It isn't the greatest GPS app ever made, not as intuitive as Google maps and requires that you input an actual address.. but when you are driving a large vehicle (mine is a 36ft long 12 ft tall motorhome) it keeps you on roads where your vehicle can fit by avoiding small roads and low bridges. I've only used it for about 800 miles (in a week!) but so far all is good. Few minor things are annoying, but it's better than ripping the roof off my RV on an overpass!

I have had the Copilot Truck GPS for over a year. 2 months in a row, the GPS has shut down when the monthly renewal expires. My subscription is on automatic payment. I uninstalled/reinstalled first time. Clearing the data and cache fixed it 2nd time. However, I lost all my data, favorites, vehicle size, etc. Has to download a map EACH time. (When I have it set to save the maps on SD card. The maps are still there.)

Please update app and fix glitches. Passing by every exit while traveling down the highway, it's reporting exit speed limit then going back to the speed limit on actual route. Please stabalize app, while using app en route, it keeps recalculating while driving on the actual route, like it doesn't know where it's at. Please update maps. Can you add an accessibility feature to make letters a bit more larger. Other than that, Love the app, works very well, ty

Clumsy. Needs to be streamlined. Needs satellite photo access as well. Update: The ability to plan a starting point without currently being there. Can not get rid of the "unauthorized road, or restricted road warning", touch and hold to set a point (the tap is clumsy because it seems to be looking for an address), a basic street/city/ state search from map screen, setting multiple points needs 1-?, you have to set last first and route 2-? next. Night mode?

Copilot is actually a great app, or was, a recent update of theirs sent it into a spiral for me. I drive semi's, and a feature for a recent update warns you of dangerous curves which is a great feature to have, unless there is no curve and you're on a straight highway and it starts repeating itself 2 to 3 times in a row for the next who knows amount of miles while you're trying to enjoy an audio book, which stops playing every time the app speaks. They did however respond to my rqst for help.

I just downloaded this app and have found a problem. In setting up my profile I'm not given an option to choose a motorhome, much less that we are also pulling a trailer. We are 69' in total length, but that is not an option. Update: we used this app (and Google maps) for a 10 day road trip without any issues, but I went back and forth with support over the lgth & weight of our unit. There are specific nav. issues for our unit that can't be addressed by this app. I will try something else.

It's was a great GPS. But as usual with something that works, devs always send an update and ruin it. You were able to see the distance of truck stops from your current location, but not anymore after the update. I don't understand the need to fix something that isn't broken. It's was a solid 5 star before, now 2 at best. The latest update fixed the issue. Great to know they actually listen to their customers. Back to 5 stars. 👍🏻

Downloaded maps for Europe. Trying to find Martigny (CH). Five mins, but the app is still cannot find it. Gave up. When choosing local route the app finds it ok, but does not display the list of oncoming places like car parks, fuel, exits... When importing my places, some are imported, others are not, even though the format of all the files is exactly the same.

I feel this app is purposely trying to not cancel your subscription. I was sent down streets that were actually bike paths. Smh. Streets that were dead ends. This app froze plenty of times and had to reinstall it and now I put it my password it doesn't recognize it. Now I'm being sent to different sites to reset my password and all I get is "go to your account "...Helllooo I can't access it. 🤷
