HTC Touch HD specific version of Copilot 7 now available
Posted on 30. Jan, 2009 by John in Phones, Touch HD
ALK Copilot 7 sat nav with HTC Touch HD.
As promised in the ALK blog, a version of Copilot 7 specifically for the Touch HD is now available. Existing owners of the standard Windows Mobile version can get the new version by contacting ALK support. The new version is supposed to be available for new customers from Handango UK, but I have not managed to find it on there myself… If you are in a hurry, then you should be able to buy the standard Windows Mobile edition, and then contact Support for the upgraded version. Might be best to get advice from ALK first though. The new version is essentially the same as the existing VGA compatible version (see screenshot to the left for standard version on Touch HD), but uses the full 800×480 resolution to display the map rather than just stretching the VGA map to fill that resolution (screenshot to follow soon). The icons in particular now look sharper, and the mapping does look better if you concentrate!
Some people have complained about GPS lag on the Touch HD but have to say that it was not something that was immediately apparent to me. Careful monitoring did show that the recorded position was up to 20 metres behind my actual position at 70mph but I have not found this to be a problem in practice.

Nice one. I’m envious. All I have on my Omnia is MapKing but it does the job.
