[CB] Unfortunately, it's GPS accuracy isn't 100% and does not tell you if your destination is on right or left.

2. I tested 2 addresses today with COPILOT and a GARMIN GPS. The Garmin was dead on while COPILOT was lost and had be going in circles. This was while I was in a development with a LOT of little side streets. Can this be fixed?
[CB] Also ran into this -- I tried to get to an Airport in a major city (Charlotte) and it took me to the "warehouse district" for shipping -- not the main terminal. Also had a trip this past week where it would tell me to get off of a main interstate (I-4) and loop back on for no reason.

3. when you get to your destination, it doesn’t give you the option to CLEAR the route. It asks me what I want to do but if I close the BOX, since I don’t want to do any of that, it keeps the route I am on. I noticed this as I use COPILOT to get home. Then today, I turned on copilot and it still said it was running the route to my house. I couldn’t find any way to clear it except to delete next stop. Then it cleared the route. I also see no way to click CANCEL ROUTE if you decide you don’t want to navigate to where you set. My Garmin has an "X" that I can hit to cancel route.
[CB] Only way to delete is "Delete Next Stop" to my knowledge.

4. Program is missing a LOT of POI's .. For instance, I was sitting in a parking lot of WAL-MART which has been there for many years. It didn’t know this Wal-Mart existed. It did know about other ones nearby but not this one. Same with TARGET, I was sitting in a target parking lot and it didn’t know target was there.

5. Routing is wrong on some trips.. Sometimes it will tell me to turn left when you can't or when LEFT is the completely wrong way to go. How to fix?
[CB] You can't.

6. I entered in SPEED TRAP DATA but it NEVER alerts me to any of them. I said YES to the fact I was importing SPEED TRAP data but it never did anything.. MEANWHILE, my Garmin did alert me.

7. It would be nice if I could pull addresses out of my EVO 4G address book so I don’t have to re-type them in and also if you could do voice entry of the data Like GOOGLE and SPRINT navigation already do.
[CB] If they are in your CONTACTS (i.e. sync'd with Outlook), you can do this. Beware of the most recent update, though, which break the ability to look up via Contacts -- I had to contact Support and downgrade to the previous version.

8. It appears the maps are SEVERAL YEARS out of date. How do I get updated maps?

9. If I want to select a POI to travel to... I select the category, then pick my POI or type in the name.. Lets say WALMART. Then I find the walmart but then decide that wasn’t what I wanted. I then hit my back arrow on my phone and select a different category or maybe just type in a different name of a POI. When I then search for the new one, it brings me to the orig category and POI and NOT the new one. I have to completely back out back the main screen of copilot and then start over with finding a POI. I have to do this every time..


I hope someone can help resolve these issues... I sent all of this to the copilot support but havent heard anything yet... Thanks...
[CB] I find myself using BING, which also has voice navigation / turn-by-turn and seems to be pretty accurate...
