ProScan Enterprise Mobility, a member of the ProScan Group, introduces the groundbreaking CoPilot Live 7 GPS navigation from ALK Technologies for Windows Smartphones and Pocket PCs - the latest innovation in commercial grade and consumer satellite navigation and reliable dock-to-dock directions.
ProScan Enterprise Mobility, a preferred distributor for ALK Technologies' leading global consumer and enterprise transportation systems, is a leading provider of total mobile solutions that increase efficiencies in enterprises across southern Africa.
CoPilot Live 7 software redefines mobile satellite navigation with its simple and intuitive menus, new clearer 2D and 3D map views, and real-time mobile Internet navigation-based services. It provides mobile devices, such as the Intermec CN3 enterprise mobile computer, with full-featured satellite navigation, offering the same performance and ease of use as a dedicated in-dash navigation system.
Redesigned destination entry makes going to places simple, with step-by-step address entry, finger-touch buttons and predictive address matching. Frequently used features are quickly accessible including changing the map view, finding a detour and locating the nearest petrol station.
Included with the Enterprise version of CoPilot Live 7 is ALK's Software Development Kit (SDK). This allows developers the facility to integrate GPS navigation directly into their mobility solution, enabling their application to pass addresses directly to CoPilot so that the driver does not have to enter the address into the device via the screen or keypad.
Driver safety
CoPilot Live 7's new 2D and 3D map views enable drivers to see their exact location and the way ahead clearly and easily. As with all CoPilot navigation solutions, Driver Safety is a priority, so by default, in Driver Safety View, a map is only shown close to a turn or junction, progressively zooming-in automatically before returning to the non-distracting safety screen once the turn is completed.
CoPilot Live 7 incorporates the latest street mapping data and updated points-of-interest (POI). Map regions including South Africa, Europe, Middle East, and Australia are available to download from the CoPilot Central desktop companion.
Finding the nearest petrol station or bank is made easy with access to over 6 million POIs. There are over 50 categories displayed in CoPilot Live 7 both in 2D or 3D map views. Many POIs include telephone numbers, so customers can select a POI and activate a call directly from within CoPilot.
Personalised navigation
CoPilot Live 7 provides a wide variety of routing options, familiar industry standard map colour themes and other settings that can be selected and personalised to suit the individual.
Andrew Fosbrook, Group Managing Director of ProScan, said: "We are able to create unique customer experiences to complement their brands. Live mobile data services can be specified by mobile operators to incorporate their preferred partners or content.
"An all-new desktop content management companion, CoPilot Central, makes it easy to download and manage extra maps, POIs and other content. Software updates are automatically downloaded and installed. Powerful trip planning features help customers work out their trips in advance and download pre-planned routes to their mobile device for real-time route guidance and navigation."
Real-time location
CoPilot Live 7 is a connected navigation system that utilises the mobile Internet to deliver useful real-time information about the route ahead. Businesses can take advantage of a seamless connection to CoPilot FleetCenter, a premium service that provides multi-vehicle fleet tracking, job dispatch, instant driver messaging and historical reporting.
"CoPilot Live 7 is a truly personalised satellite navigation system. We can now provide drivers, cyclists and pedestrians with the same experience on a mobile device as a dedicated or in-dash sat nav system, as well as useful real-time location-specific services, such as location tracking," added Fosbrook.
