ALK Technologies was on hand to demo its latest navigation software for WinMo, Android, and the Iphone. CoPilot Live 8 is the latest in a long line of trusted navigation software which not only improves upon from previous versions but is going head to head with Google Maps navigation on the Android platform. Interestingly, the booth was set up with mainly Android based devices (Motorola DROID and Google Nexus One) and visitors had the ability to freely play with the unit. Upon first encounter the software was smooth, bright and the buttons were easily accessible. Pricing for the software is 34.95 (take notes Nokia) one time rate. This means that once you purchase it you own it. No monthly fees for navigation, POI, etc. I certainly hope the ALK will consider authoring something for Symbian and Maemo in the near future. Symbian is a stretch but Maemo could happen.
