Princeton, N.J. (PRWEB) December 04, 2014 -- ALK, a Trimble Company and global leader in GeoLogistics® solutions and navigation software, announced today that its free CoPilot® GPS offline route planning, mapping and navigation app is now available through the Amazon Appstore for the Amazon Fire OS and other Android devices.
