Compaq iNS Version 2 Released

[Dave]

Team Warrior has just announced the release of Version 2 of the Compaq iPAQ Navigation System (iNS).



Launched in June 2003, the new iPAQ Navigation System 2 has key new features:

• New, high performance GPS jacket (CoPilot/Emtac Sleeve)
• Upgraded software
• LiveWire-ready for live traffic alerts from AA Roadwatch

To find out more information visit iPAQ Navigation.

Hi Dave, Do you know if this uses the new release of CoPilot Live? or is it just the new GPS unit?

I don't believe so. Team Warrior and TravRoute are developing different versions from what I understand. TeamWarrior has LiveWire, and TravRoute has Live. I can't say for certain whether the maps are updated, or the basic CoPilot program, or whether it still sits at the same release, I'll try to find out for you.

Do registered users get the software upgrade free as before?

Mark, the press release suggests going to iPAQ Navigation to either purchase or to upgrade, however the only option on the website is to buy the complete version 2 with GPS hardware, so it looks like there's no software upgrade path at the moment. I've got an email out to Team Warrior and we'll see what I get back.

Hi Dave, Did you ever hear back from Team Warrior about an upgrade? I am confused as they do not seem to be selling CoPilot version 4. Do you know if it is possible to buy the upgrade to version 4 from Traveroute even for a Copaq INS supplied version?



Regards

Ian

[Dave]

iNS version 2 is based on CoPilot 3.5 and not 4 due to delays in TravRoute releasing CoPilot 4.



TeamWarrior are currently discussing licensing with TravRoute and hopefully when finalised will be able to publish a list of upgrade prices from various versions.
