ALK Technologies is celebrating the first anniversary of the release of its free ‘CoPilot GPS’ mapping and trip planning app for iOS and Android, with the announcement that the app has been downloaded over 4.5 million times in the 12 months since launch.
CoPilot GPS has proven extremely popular internationally on both Google Play and Apple App Store, including reaching the number one iPhone navigation app ranking in over 70 countries. The app provides users with high-quality offline automotive-grade street maps, comprehensive trip planning and local search for free, with an upgrade to voice-guided turn-by-turn navigation optionally available through in-app purchase.
