CoPilot Live 7 sat nav
This software lets you turn your smartphone or pocket
computer into a powerful satellite navigation system so you
need never be lost again.
CoPilot Live 7 gives turn-by-turn directions for motorists,
cyclists or those on foot and is compatible with a wide range
of phones and PDAs and different operating systems. It comes
on a micro-SD card (and includes adapters), which you just
slot into your device to load the software up. Once up and
running, CoPilot uses either the built-in GPS receivers that
many phones have, or a separate Bluetooth GPS receiver.
We were impressed with the speed and accuracy of directions,
as well as the clear and easy-to-understand screen and
buttons. There’s built-in speed camera warnings to help keep
your licence clean – more camera locations can be added – as
well as other useful points of interest such as cash machines,
restaurants and hospitals.

great but you’re limited in the amount you can squeeze in.
For serious portable storage, a hard disk device such as the
Ultra Traveldrive is needed.
The Traveldrive is about the size of two packs of cards side
by side, weighs 186g and feels robust enough to survive
a few knocks. It comes in 80, 120, 160 and 250GB hard
drive sizes, so there should be no difficulty in storing all
your important backup files, documents, pictures, music
and video.
Connection and power is via USB, so the Traveldrive doesn’t
need a separate bulky power supply. In use it’s quick and
