Win one of five CoPilot Truck sat nav apps with caravan and motorhome functionality in our latest great giveaway
It goes without saying that when it comes to getting away, planning is key – especially when venturing into new territories, be it a new holiday park or even a new country in your beloved leisure vehicle.
The above said, when it comes to exploring the best of what the UK and further afield has to offer, sat navs are often an integral part of ensuring our journey runs as smoothly as possible, enabling us to remain confident in the knowledge that we are offered the quickest and most convenient route to reach our destination, as well as alerting us to any delays that might hinder our journey. Sat navs aren’t without their pitfalls though. How many times have you been towing your trusty caravan when you’ve been met with narrow roads which have resulted in having to re-plan your route? And then there are those dreaded width restriction bollards. We could go on. But now we don’t have to.
CoPilot Truck looks set to change the way in which we use sat navs when it comes to making the most of combining them with leisure vehicle travel.
A high-performance sat nav app for smartphones and tablets, designed specifically for drivers of larger vehicles such including caravans and motorhomes, CoPilot Truck is the sat nav app relied on by many of the world’s leading commercial fleets, providing safe and reliable navigation instructions by calculating routes that avoid height and width-restricted roads based on the size of vehicle being driven.
CoPilot’s premium-quality offline street maps of the UK and Continental Europe are stored on-board your mobile device for dependable guidance at home or abroad regardless of mobile network coverage and without incurring data roaming charges.
In addition to avoiding restricted roads, CoPilot Truck is packed with features to better meet the sat nav needs of caravan and motorhome drivers. By default, the app will favour roads more suited to larger vehicles and avoid U-turns where possible. A powerful multi-stop trip planner makes it easy to plan complex long-distance itineraries in advance, while CoPilot ActiveRoutes uses a database of actual road speeds to calculate the fastest route to take.
On the road, CoPilot provides guidance and turn instructions designed to minimize driver distraction. A Directions-only safety view only displays a map when close to a turn, while un-cluttered 2D or 3D map displays show the way to go clearly throughout the journey.
And now, CaravanTimes is offering members of our site the chance to win one of five CoPilot Truck apps codes worth £119.99.
