Hi Guys, just checked the ALK site and the long, long, long awaited patch for Co-Pilot 6 is finally here. Let's hope it fixes some of these really stupid problems.

I think it's gone again Paul-m. If you click on Patches at the right it just redirects you back to the page you are on

There is some problem with the web page.

The page is dynaically created and for some reason it isnt always consistent.

I cleared my IE cache and after some attempts got the page again.

keep trying is the best i can suggest.

You have to keep hitting refresh every time the site tells you that a page cannot be found. Eventually you get something.

Question - my current install is straight from the memory card that came with the package. The upgrade instructions say to uninstall first - does this still apply? Also, do I select the memory card as the destination of the patch install?

I had better hasten to add that it's the installation thate works fine, not necessarily the new version. The first thing I've noticed is that it still doesn't say "Welcome to Copilot". Actually, I don't mind about that one bit, but it was one of the items that was supposed to be fixed.

As I said before, make sure you keep your old CAB file handy...

As for a comprehensive patch... Soon

...? Or is that it?

First thing I've noticed is that renaming Custom POI's on the Desktop app from Custom 1, Custom2, etc, to meaningful names for my own Imported POIs, still doesn't work!! Evil or Very Mad

I can rename them and it reallocates to the new names, but exit CoPilot and restart and I'm back to Custom 1, Custom 2 etc.

HoHum back to the drawing board again ALK.

At least I can choose which keyboard I want though Laughing

That's as far as I've got with the update so far.

From the patches page above, it leads you to more specific pages. The direct pages are below. As above if ALK says "Page Not Found" don't believe them, just keep hitting Refresh (usually about 15 times)!!
