Copilot 5 to 6?

Anyone upgraded from Copilot live 5 to version 6?
Any real difference in mapping detail?
Is Stephens Green still the wrong way round?

Expansys.ie have it for €171.95 any better offers?
Thanks.

I've just ordered it for €83 from Alk.eu.com, its an upgrade pack, I should have it next week I'll let you know then if you like??

Don't do it.

New map detail for Ireland from Copilot 5 to 6 is not worth it - but if you are travelling in Europe the new coverage is impressive

CoPilot 7 will have the new 100% Ireland NavTeq map which was also launched in Dublin last Monday for Garmin's GPS systems.

Expect all GPS companies to use this 100% map from September on.

See here for latest coverage:

Flick the tab to English on top and then choose Ireland.

Yeah, that would be great thanks

Kevmac, how long would you think before ALK are offering version 7 as an upgrade (probably has to be upgraded from version 6 though

)

Not really worth it. The new m50 section to Bray isnt on it. I complained to them but they just ignored my email. Havent checked stephens green yet but i suspect it is still the old way.

The new M50 section isn't on it???

Ah for fecks sake, they can refund me so, thats just crazy

Neil_Sedaka · 30-03-2006 10:09pm

Oh dear

Neil_Sedaka · 12-04-2006 11:05am

Hey, how did you get on with the upgrade?
Was it worth it?

Villain · 14-04-2006 7:28pm

Sorry Neil Sedaka, I started a new job and haven't had time to log on. The upgrade is not worth it even for €88, the maps are more or less identical and the interface isn't much better, hold off for the release of the 100% coverage maps in Sept. if I was you.

Well considering the co-pilot uses Navteq data and Ireland was only fully mapped by them recently, it is unlikely that the data for the CO-pilot 6 is going to be up to date. The last data update they had was before the Luas and only has M50 motorway to the Balinteer exit.

Ok, thanks for the info

Copilot 5 to 6?
