Tips and Tricks: Use ActiveTraffic™ to Arrive on Time to Dinner Tonight

By Devon Valenti // Marketing Manager, North America | Published: February 14, 2012

After spending hours planning and preparing the perfect Valentine’s Day celebration for your loved one, the last thing you want to do is ruin it by hitting a major traffic jam and showing up late! CoPilot Live Premium’s ActiveTraffic™ real-time traffic service can help ensure your Valentine’s Day celebration goes smoothly.  ActiveTraffic™ continuously monitors your route for traffic delays as you drive and will alert you if a faster, alternate route to your date destination is available. If a faster route is available, CoPilot will provide a preview of the alternate route, along with updated mileage and journey time.

Perhaps being late is unavoidable? Don’t worry, CoPilot still has you covered!  ActiveTraffic will maintain a realistic estimated time of arrival (ETA) based on current traffic conditions, throughout your drive.  So, you can call ahead and let your valentine or the restaurant know you’re running late and the exact time to expect you.

Before you leave the house tonight, don’t forget to grab your roses, chocolates and most importantly your CoPilot Live Premium GPS.  The last thing you want to worry about this Valentine’s Day is getting to dinner on time.  Enjoy yourself and leave the navigating to CoPilot!

A 12 month ActiveTraffic subscription is available for $9.99 via in-app purchase.  Go to MyCoPilot > Features & Upgrades > ActiveTraffic™.

Still haven’t found the perfect gift for your Valentine?  We can help!  You still have until 12:00pm today to enter our Valentine’s Day App Giveaway. Read More »

Gadgets are a Girl’s Best Friend

By Adrienne Lieberman // Marketing Coordinator, North America | Published: February 10, 2012

Having trouble deciding on the ultimate gift for your Valentine?  With so many options, choosing the perfect gift can be daunting!  There are the usual nominees: overpriced chocolate, expensive jewelry or a dozen roses (that let’s be honest, will last only a few days).

The question is ─ do women even want that stuff?  Apparently the answer is NO!  The Consumer Electronics Association conducted a survey and found a whopping 80% of women said they would prefer a gadget gift this holiday.  The main reason being they want something that is useful for their everyday life.

What’s more useful in everyday life than an iPhone, iPad or Android Smartphone?  You can even enhance your loved one’s device with the addition of a CoPilot Live Premium USA GPS app starting at only $14.99. And for all you iOS dual device users, we now have a universal app, CoPilot Live Premium HD USA that can be used on both your iPhone and iPad— for the low price of $19.99!

Win a CoPilot Live Premium USA GPS App to give to your Valentine or keep for yourself!

Maybe 6 more weeks of unseasonably warm winter isn’t so bad?

By Adrienne Lieberman // Marketing Coordinator, North America | Published: February 2, 2012

This morning we kicked off the first major event of February, with a weather report from Punxsutawney Phil himself. It appears he saw his shadow, therefore we can expect six more weeks of winter. However, it doesn’t seem like we have been experiencing winter like conditions lately. The question still remains, is Phil’s winter prediction accurate?

In case you want to test out the German superstition yourself, you can always turn to your CoPilot Live for a real-time weather update during your travels, at any time. Just go to Menu > More > Weather to search the local forecast at your current location, upcoming destination or in the city of your choice.

Enjoy your winter season, whatever the temperature outside may be!
