ALK Technologies (CoPilot) has announced the launch of the latest and most exciting addition to the CoPilot Live GPS Navigation family: CoPilot Live Smartphone.

The new system transforms a compatible Microsoft Windows Mobile-based Smartphone such as the Orange SPV C500 into a powerful, ultra-portable in-car navigation/communications system.

This new software allows the premium navigation experience available with CoPilot Live Pocket PC 5 on to the Microsoft Windows Mobile-based Smartphone.  With 100% of Windows Mobile Smartphones being GPRS capable, almost all of which will be GPRS-activated, businesses and consumers alike will be easily able to take full advantage of CoPilot Live’s real time communications.

The CoPilot LIve SmartPhone will feature:

• All products, including software-only include a self-installing 128MB QuickStart card
• Seamless Live communications: web tracking, messaging, new location-sending all from a Phone!
• NAVTEQ maps with UK, Ireland, Channel Islands and of course the M6 Toll road
• PocketGPS Speed Camera Database preloaded, and POI alerts as you approach them

The Bluetooth bundle also includes the Bluetooth GPS antenna to pick up the GPS signal and transfer it to the Smartphone for the GPS software to use for your location.
