January 7, 2010 - Consumer Electronics Show, Las Vegas - ALK Technologies today announced CoPilot® Live Directions^TM, providing free of charge turn-by-turn GPS navigation throughout USA and Canada. Demonstrations are available at the CoPilot Live booth 35319 in the South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center during the Consumer Electronics Show, January 7-10th.

The app enables North American iPhone users to access a free 30 day trial of full-featured and voice-guided GPS navigation with 3D mapping. After 30 days they can choose to continue using voice-guided GPS navigation with a 12-month or 30-day subscription via in-app purchase ($19.99 and $2.99 respectively), or alternatively enjoy free lifetime use of map-only turn-by-turn directions.

In addition to breakthrough affordability, CoPilot Live Directions takes a more flexible approach to map management. As with all CoPilot products, detailed street maps are stored on the phone, not downloaded per trip. However with Directions, customers can choose how much or little of North America's road network they wish to store on their iPhone. After installing the app, simply download your choice of map from in-app to iPhone via WiFi: either the complete map of North America (1.3GB) or individual maps of the states you need (approx 50MB).

Michael Kornhauser, Managing Director at ALK Technologies said "With CoPilot Live Directions, we are making full-featured turn-by-turn GPS navigation for iPhone more affordable, more flexible and more accessible than ever. With a choice of features, mapping and subscriptions, including free map-based directions, there's now a CoPilot to suit all types of traveller and every level of budget."

Key features in CoPilot Live Directions:

• Free lifetime use turn-by-turn directions with automatic route calculation and 2D maps.

• Full street level maps of the US and Canada

• Detailed street maps downloaded via WiFi and stored on the iPhone, so there's no need to rely on your data network for navigation

• Navigate to a street address or one of millions of businesses using integrated local search

• Free CoPilot LiveLink location sharing lets your friends and family know where you are via the Internet, Facebook or on-screen in CoPilot on their own phone

• 30 days free full-featured CoPilot Live navigation with Text to Speech voice guidance, 3D maps and advanced trip planning

Customers who would prefer to download the complete map of the US and Canada via iTunes rather than WiFi, can continue to do so by purchasing the lifetime use, full-featured CoPilot Live North America GPS navigation app via the AppStore.
