anyone able to comment on copilotgps.com for Windows?

have Copilot running on Android and iOS. It shouldn't be much different, but then it's running on Windows...

How do you like it, how well does it work? Is it accurate? Etc.

Co-pilot doesn't make a great product. The directions are not as reliable as the Garmin and I believe the maps are older(even though Garmin's are 1-2 years old)

Since this is about phone app.

The Garmin app Viago is not an navigation app that wee have come to expect. See the Gamin forums & this forum for further comments. A little web surfing goes a long way for answering questions of this nature.

The CoPilot Premium app has many features missing in the Garmin app. The maps are updated quarterly.

Do any of the phone apps compare to a standalone dedicated GPS? No, not in my option.

They are all missing the "user added POI" function.

That said, the CoPilot app does allow routing to a contact's address in your phone contact list. Garmin does not. Pretty easy to add addresses, or GPS coordinates to the favorites also.

Tried the CoPilot Free app, which is under-featured but it did a good enough job that it convinced me to purchase the Premium version.

Currently installed on Android phone, and probably soon to be installed on an iPad.

both Viago and Navigon allow route to the contact file

OK, then I must have had an older version (a month or so ago) before I dumped it. Because I could not get it to work.

Then that's a wash between Viago and CoPilot.

You can add custom POI to Copilot. It's a laborious process and only one file at a time, but it can be done.

I was referring to adding POI like those offered here. Adding them 1-by-1 is not something I would want to do. Adding a favorite is 1-by-1 also. No way to "batch load" anything.

When I stated "1 file at a time" I was speaking of a file such as Redlight Cameras.csv and not each individual location within the file. You can't select a bunch of files into a folder and then load them using a POILoader type program, they have to be imported individually.

BOXCAR: Interesting, I'll have to figure that out. Maybe I gave up too early, but I did not see how, or, where to "import" a CSV file. Because, I would really like to have my Garmin favorites in CoPilot, if I convert the current.gpx into a CSV.

At any rate CoPilot fits my needs just fine, even without all the features of a dedicated GPS.

.csv files are simply text files. You could concatenate them (in a DOS window) or just append them in a text editor into a large, single file and import the whole she-bang.

My two cents
