CoPilot Live HD for iPad 3G submitted to the App Store

ALK Technologies has announced that it has submitted CoPilot Live HD to the App Store, a turn-by-turn GPS navigation and trip planning app designed specifically for 3G models of Apple's iPad. With street maps stored on the device, CoPilot Live HD takes full advantage of the iPad's in-built GPS receiver and high resolution touch screen to provide the ultimate large-screen voice-guided navigation experience.

CoPilot Live HD makes it easy to find the way in-car or to plan a trip in advance with beautiful hi-resolution maps and graphics. A new split screen driving view combines uncluttered 3D or 2D map displays with clear, non-distracting turn instructions. As with CoPilot Live for iPhone, the HD edition auto-switches between portrait and landscape, uses pinch-zoom functionality and offers access to iPod music controls from within the app.

CoPilot Live HD North America has been submitted to the App Store for approval, and is expected to be available to buy for iPad 3G in early May. Pricing will be the same as for the CoPilot Live iPhone app - $29.99 (USD) for unlimited use, with no ongoing fees or subscriptions and includes free full quarterly map updates through the MapSure(TM) service through 2010.
