Any truth in the rumor Copilot Live V8.0 will be released May/June 09?
Hope they don't forget all us poor sods they shafted with CPL V7.0. |

It does look like it's very nearly ready to go but ALK wouldn't be committed on a release date. No TTS still, just a makeover of the UI, Lane Assist and Reality View stuff.

| Mmm disappointing, no TTS, I also suppose no custom POIs either. Hopefully a map update. IMHO not worth the money at any cost ... iGO 8 is looking the goods more and more. If I have to shell out for a cosmetic update and still not have the functionality I had with CPL6 I might as well put my money into something that does work as per the manufacturer's specs. |

Sygic is also looking like an excellent option, gaining a lot of support.

I think you might be confusing that with LIVE Search? Pretty sure they said TTS was not coming as I recall we discussed why they couldn't implement it?

Just spoke to CP here in US and they are now saying version 8 is expected in May. It will have TTS.

| I received a trial copy of copilot live "7.5" at CES. It had TTS and worked great. Adding "Virtual Views" will make it the best software for PPC's. I think it will be available in May. |

Hi there
Is there any more news when this is supposed to be launched.
I am upgrading my HTC and would like to replace my TomTom 6 at the same time?
Any news would be gratefully received

I am also waiting for CoPilot 8 so I can switch from TomTom. I emailed ALK Sales in late may asking about the release date. On June 1, they replied that they would be releasing it "in the upcoming weeks". So hopefully the announcement is not far away ...
BTW, did you see that TomTom has now released Navigator 7 in the UK, as a standalone product (versus their previous stance that they'd only sell it pre-installed on specific devices)? One would hope that a US release will follow ... though given how TomTom has been ignoring their PDA customers for the past couple of years, I plan on moving to CoPilot when V8 is released even if TomTom releases Navigator 7 in the US. |

I contacted Travroute and they advised CoPilot 8 will be released in Australia in September. I won't hold my breath!

Doesn't mean much, but whilst exploring ALKs support site I notice Copilot 8 is in the 'product' dropdown list, so it would appear they are getting ready to launch.
