Needs Work

bramos66

I made the purchase and literally canceled the very next day. I was still charged for the year subscription. However, what I didn’t like is that it’s not compatible with Apple Car Play which is a must these days. The second thing I didn’t like is that it took me on a road that was closed due to construction and once I passed my turned due to detour it kept rerouting me through small streets that I didn’t take because my RV is too big for those turns. So I had to go back to google maps. I mainly downloaded it so I can plug my RV height and width and get routes that my RV could go on but if it doesn’t recognize closed roads and it’s not compatible with Car Play really not worth it. Another problem I encountered is my RV is 13’6” and it would not accept those exact measurements even though it has the boxes asking for exact height so I had to put 14ft to be safe but that means I may be missing on a shorter route due to improper height on app. Was thinking of asking for a refund but not sure it’s worth the hassle.


Beware

dirtracen99

I am currently on the 15 day trial period. I used the App on a route from Florida to Tennessee and it sent me about 70 mile across Florida on back roads and on a street through a subdivision. This app is not for me driving a 38’ motor home. I’ve also tried to cancel the free trial but can not find the “manage my account” location. I’ve went to my copilot gps account but there is no link to “manage my account”. There are instructions on how to cancel your paid subscription but Free trial, no. I have sent copilot gps an email requesting directions but I’ve received no response.


CoPilot Great But…

Hum42

This app has been used my myself for many years now and is great! Just the initial download of maps is horribly s L o Wwww… I have checked my connection and that is robust, however I started to download maps for the USA last night and this morning I have a whopping 4 Megabytes of 2.3 Gig downloaded !!! At this rate it will take a week or two for the map to fully download! Sup with dat!?


What happened

Old splinter

I used to be a real supporter of CoPilot but after buying the “RV” version, I’ve become disappointed. Yesterday we drove from Niagara Falls to Cooperstown, a trip your software claimed was 4.75 hours, turned into a 7 hour nightmare! Twice we were directed to a 2 lane road and across a 2ton capacity bridge in a vehicle weighing 32000 lbs. it wanted us to turn left onto a one lane dirt road. I checked the settings on the software and the size and weight of our RV were set. Sure would like to see the track of our trip to Cooperstown NY. Can I get my money back?


RV Profile removed

Green_Flash

I bought the maps because this was one of the few RV profile (enter height for your rig) enabled apps. The website and App Store description still state it’s fir RVs put I only get car, motorcycle or bicycle profiles now? Feel like bait and switch after buying maps and features (lifetime) They responded to my review but I bought the maps because this was an rv app. The developers updated their support site rv access is now paid annually, but I didn’t buy the app because it had a subscription model, I know more and more apps are going this way but they didn’t update the App Store overview or their product website. To me this is sloppy and just signs of a lazy development company.

No Height Over 13’ Allowed

tonymaas1

My RV is 13 feet, 5 inches tall and the app will not let me enter a height over 13 feet. This is DANGEROUS because it could route you under bridges and overpasses that are too low. We almost had this happen yesterday. Thankfully we had ONE INCH of clearance. I’m stopping my use of the app until it can be proven to work for the height of my RV.


Ram Pickup Carplay

charrrrrrrrrrrxxxxx

I have a 2019 Ram 3500. Has no GPS system so use aps with gps. Have an I phone 12. Tried to load this program into carplay. Would not work. To bad. Will continue use Waze.


RV Navigation

t_bray

I am still running on the trial. We are using it to go from Texas back to Michigan with 3 KOA stops. There isn’t any tricky routing issues on this trip but the trip planner was helpful in planning the trek home. Being able to pick from several possible routes is nice. The voice turn by turn has worked well and if we finally decide to subscribe we will add that feature. The issues that keep me from just clicking on the Buy Now buttonthe are the lack of CarPlay projection of the map and there isn’t a description of the next action until you are fairly close to needing to execute it. In an RV and dealing with heavy traffic sometimes the verbal description of the next action gets lost and having a set of symbols describing what to do next is extremely helpful. We did put the phone in a cup holder mount so that I could see the screen, but it is not in a convenient position to just glance at it. For this to really work I will need to figure out how to mount the phone next to the trailer’s RVC display in such a way that the sun coming in through the windshield doesn’t overheat it. One feature that would clinch the deal, but it doesn’t have, is a button to tell the app to stop navigating while we take a detour or just visit a rest area. Resuming the routing would have it recalculate where it is and update the routing. We do have Waze running at the same time to get the road conditions and to display the map on the dash. It isn’t doing any routing though
