(PRWEB) March 23, 2016 -- ALK Technologies, a Trimble Company and global leader in GeoLogistics® and navigation software, today announced CoPilot® RV, an offline navigation app for drivers of large Recreational Vehicles (RVs) and motorhomes.

“We’ve taken a great deal of care to create a CoPilot GPS navigation app designed specifically for the unique navigation needs of RV and motorhome drivers,” said David Quin, VP consumer applications at ALK Technologies. “CoPilot RV is a powerful and affordable tool to navigate a RV or motorhome confidently throughout the U.S. and Canada, leaving users free to enjoy the drive without worrying about traveling on a restricted road or losing guidance in areas with spotty data coverage.”

The new app for smartphones and tablets enables users to take the strain out of driving a RV or motorhome by automatically generating customized routes based on vehicle size and class (height, weight and length).

Drivers can hit the road with confidence, knowing that CoPilot RV provides them with:

  • Route planning that avoids narrow local roads and prevents dangerous or costly run-ins with low bridges and other restricted roads
  • Clear, easy-to-follow directions designed to reduce driver distraction
  • Easy access to millions of useful pre-installed locations like campgrounds, rest areas and gas stations
  • Multi-stop itinerary builder with the ability to add up to 50 stops across the country, saving time and fuel costs
  • Voice-guided turn instructions, automatic route recalculation, advanced lane guidance at highway exits and intersections plus speed limit warnings when posted speed is exceeded
  • 12 months of real-time traffic service to help drivers avoid unexpected delays on routes
  • Free map updates of the U.S. and Canada

CoPilot RV’s detailed and comprehensive street maps of the U.S. and Canada are downloaded directly to a smartphone or tablet for offline use, eliminating the need for a mobile data network connection in remote areas.
