Guest illusion786 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Posted June 16, 2009 Could you tell what build it is please ? Thanks
Guest SKassam Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 To anybody using CoPilot 7 (original version)...like me I transferred my license to my Omnia, ALK have just released a specific Omnia build with updated maps! Just thought you should know!! I am using the regular Copilot 7 on my Omnia. I went to their website but did not find any information specific to Omnia. Can you please let me have the link? Thanks.
Guest jonboyuk Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 Sure. The build number for the Omnia is 7.8.0.162 It's not just downloadable from a link on their web site. You need to open a support request and ask them for the Omnia Build of CoPilot 7. They will ask you to confirm your license key. Do so and they will send you a link specifc to your country. I can report that it runs much faster than previous builds, there are new options like cycling information at the bottom of the screen instead of static speed or distance etc, it supports landscape now and the maps are up to date! It even autodetects the GPS chip in about 1 second now. Gotta be worth it! http://www.alk.eu.com/support/

Guest jonboyuk Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 No problem smoothcrooner. I just wish they would allow people to find out easier! Anyway it's really nice, enjoy :D
Guest illusion786 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 (edited) Thanks for managed to grab it from elsewhere. screen fits perfect an not stretched anymore. Seems to connect to the GPS much faster whereas it didnt in before. Edited June 18, 2009 by illusion786

Guest smoothcrooner Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 No problem smoothcrooner. I just wish they would allow people to find out easier! Anyway it's really nice, enjoy :D Hi Jonboyuk, I've now got the Omnia build version 7.8.0.162 and it works like a dream, but I've some issues regarding the POIs and Safety Camera Alerts. After installation, you are told in the email to go http://safetycam.alk to import the POIs and the Safety Camera Alerts, but that link is dead or non-existent. Did you manage to import the POIs and the Safety Camera Alerts?

Did you manage to import the POIs and the Safety Camera Alerts? Here you go bud. Download it from here http://www.alk.eu.com/copilot/cameras.asp instructions are on that link as well.
Guest smoothcrooner Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 Here you go bud. Download it from here http://www.alk.eu.com/copilot/cameras.asp instructions are on that link as well. Thanks for the prompt reply. I now know where to download the safety camera alerts from. But I still have a major issue regarding the POIs. I know I've got them because they are in the Storage Card/copilot/EU/Places/standard folder, there are about 17 items in there. But when I go into settings to enable the POIs, nothing shows up, anybody else experiencing this problem?
Guest jonboyuk Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 (edited) Sorry about my late reply. They have changed the way that you installed safety cameras now as it's different for this build. You need to: 1: Download that ezp file from the ALK web site. 2: You need to delete any safetycam files present in \My Storage\CoPilot\EU\Save (usually just a safetycam.bmp or something IIRC) 3: You need to delete the Safety Cam folder present in \My Storage\CoPilot\EU\Places (only if present) 4: Then copy the safetycam.ezp to the usual directory \My Storage\CoPilot\EU\Save 5: Finally reopen CoPilot 7 and it will start reintegrating new POI's! That's it. Remember you need to do this each time you update your safety cameras with the new build of CoPilot 7 Jon Edit - It may be \My Storage Card\ in your case! Edited June 18, 2009 by jonboyuk
Guest SKassam Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 I sent the US support an email but I wonder if they will have one for us. Thanks for the tip. @Jonboyuk Got it from support though the EU support replied. Thanks for letting us know. Shamim

Hi Jon, Thanks for the reply, tried it still no joy. Will give ALK a call tomorrow to see if they can help.
Guest jonboyuk Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 Hmm strange. Well let us know what they say! The other thing to try is when you're erasing files, make sure in the \My Storage\CoPilot\EU\Save you've erased all AO*.* files (anything starting with AO basically)! Then recopy the ezp file in there!!

Guest jonboyuk Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 Woohoo. I just used it driving home from Gloucester. It's so smooth and the routing engine has been updated, it's much better now. If I used to select avoid motorways, instead of putting me on A-roads, it would just put me on a variety of A and B (mostly :D which was awful. Now it just knows!
Guest Junoman Posted August 21, 2009 Report Posted August 21, 2009 Hi jonboyuk, You seems expert with CoPilot!! :D I have a qick question. Have you done the registry edit to get quick gps fix with Co Pilot? Or Just using it with out registry edit? Thanks in advance. J.
Guest rkazm Posted August 22, 2009 Report Posted August 22, 2009 Looks like CoPilot Live 8 is available now...

Have you done the registry edit to get quick gps fix with Co Pilot? Or Just using it with out registry edit? Thanks in advance. J. No not at all in the Omnia settings there is an icon for XtraGPS which gives you the quick fix. Just use that - no registry settings are needed to be made for this fix. Maybe you're using the i910? You should upgrade to CoPilot 8!! It's awesome, I've had it for 2 weeks now and I love it :D

Guest Junoman Posted August 22, 2009 Report Posted August 22, 2009 I'm with i900!! XtraGPS option will be an additional cost for me since I do not have a data plan with my contract!! :angry: But it could be handy to used rather hanging around hour or two to get GPS fix!! ;) ;) Of course its worth me while to consider upgrade as it so cheap B) ........ as 22quid :D Cheers' J No not at all in the Omnia settings there is an icon for XtraGPS which gives you the quick fix.

Guest Junoman Posted August 22, 2009 Report Posted August 22, 2009 CoPilot Live 8 more identical to iGO8!! Because its most features are already with iGO8. However there are few new funtions like tunnel guidance (I hardly used it) :D :angry: But un-doubtably it should be eye-cady!! ;) So worth me while to have a go I agree with with jonboyuk, CoPilot Live 8 is simply awesome. ;)
