New safety alerts for drivers in Europe

CoPilot now issues seven new safety alerts for drivers in Europe. Those alerts are: Start of No Overtaking, Start of No Overtaking Trucks, Tramway Crossing, Truck Rollover, Steep Hill Upwards, Steep Hill Downwards, and School Zones. CoPilot displays the respective symbol with a distance countdown on the guidance screen as well as an audio warning.

Change the chevron display with a single tap

A new configuration setting, ChevronOneTouchToggle, allows a driver to tap the location chevron on the CoPilot map to toggle the information displayed below it. With a tap, the information displayed is toggled between none and the value in ChevronOneTouchToggleValue. By default, ChevronOneTouchToggleValue is set to destination (2), but it can be set to any of 10 values available for ChevronDisplaySetting.

ChevronOneTouchToggle is off (0) by default, and the default behavior of CoPilot is to open the Location Info Display screen so the driver can select the information to display. To set the new config in the product.cfg file:

[Features]
ChevronOneTouchToggle=1 ///This turns on the one-tap toggle

[Features]
ChevronOneTouchToggleValue=2 ///This setting is only needed if you want the chevron display to toggle to a value other than Destination.

View traffic detour events in RouteReporter

Traffic detours have been added to the list of on-road safety events that can be captured by CoPilot and displayed in RouteReporter. A detour event occurs whenever an alternate route is offered to a driver due to traffic. In RouteReporter, you can see whether the driver accepted the detour and the estimated amount of time it saved.

Help us gather parking intelligence

(North America and heavy duty trucks only) A new pop-up asks drivers to provide one-touch feedback on parking availability at Rest Areas, Truck Stops, Truck Repair Centers, Weigh Stations, LCV Lots, and CAT Scales. A response is optional (the pop-up disappears in a few seconds). The information may be used in future versions of CoPilot to help guide drivers to parking areas with more open stops.

Parking prompt

See predicted weather conditions for several possible routes

When planning a trip, CoPilot’s MAP screen displays up to three possible routes for the driver. For customers licensed for the CoPilot’s new weather service, all potential routes will now show predicted weather conditions so the driver can factor weather into their decision of which route to take. (Previously, the driver would only receive one route with weather enabled.)

Transfer map data from an SD card to an Android device’s internal storage

Due to slow performance when storing map data on an external SD card, we are now recommending all customers transfer map data to a device’s internal storage. A new AndroidManifest setting, ALK_useExternalSdCardMigration, automates the transfer of map data to internal storage, if a device has sufficient internal storage for maps. You can also enable this migration by adding a file titled .enableExternalSdCardMigration to the CoPilot folder on the device.

Avoid or favor specific states or countries in routing

Four new configuration settings are available that allow you to specific states or countries that should be avoided or favored when CoPilot generates a route. Countries and states should be entered in ISO2 format. To set the new configs in the product.cfg file:

[User Settings]
"AvoidCountry"="CA"
"AvoidState"="WY,CO"
"FavorCountry"="US"
"FavorState"="MT"

Include your own Trip ID when sending trips to CoPilot

CoPilot now supports an externalTripId field so you can assign your own unique identifiers for trips passed into CoPilot via URL launch and other integration methods. That ID can then be used to help you better identify trips when reviewing them for safety and route compliance in RouteReporter.

View speed limits in night mode

The display of road speed limits and the main menu button in night mode has been improved.

Night mode

Target Android API level 34

CoPilot’s Android target API level has been raised to 34 (Android 14) to support Google Play Store requirements.

iOS updated to version 17

The iOS version was updated to 17 for all iOS versions of CoPilot.

Removed Features

iOS and Android CPIK Libraries no longer support Xamarin as a cross-platform development tool. To upgrade to CoPilot 10.28 or higher, customers using Xamarin should transition to the .NET CPIK Libraries.

Bug Fixes

When the only way to get to a location is via a bridge that is lower than the vehicle’s height, CoPilot now presents an invalid route pop-up message.

Invalid route

Fixed an issue where CoPilot was failing to resend trips to RouteReporter when initial attempts failed.

Fixed an intermittent issue when canceling map download programmatically.

Fixed an issue with map downloads while using proxy settings.

Fixed an issue where CoPilot was not processing a stop using URL Launch commands GOTO and ADDNEXTSTOP.

Fixed an issue where roads were incorrectly highlighted within a geofence that was created using GeofenceMgr API.

Fixed an issue where CoPilot allowed Passenger Mode even when it was disabled via configuration.

Fixed an issue with URL Launch when CoPilot is licensed for weather.

Fixed an issue in URL Launch (Single URL) when both Trip + FleetPortal values passed together

Fixed .NET MAUI sample app namespace errors.

Fixed several issues in React Native CPIK, including:

  • A sample app build-related issue for React Native CPIK.
  • A missing callback, onReadyToAddStops.
  • A crash when calling startNavApp.

Enhanced Features

View critical weather alerts

Weather alerts have been improved so that CoPilot no longer displays alerts with a Risk level of None.

Set My Maps to read only

The My Maps screen can be set to “read only” so a driver can see the progress of map downloads and updates but not interact with the screen. Contact us if you are interested in this feature.

Prevent trip edits when using URL launch

The AllowEditTrip configuration setting, which determines whether a driver can edit a trip passed into CoPilot, can now be set for integrations that use URL launch. Setting it to 0 prevents the driver from editing the trip. The setting is:

[Application]
"AllowEditTrip"=0

Hide the Off Route icon

A new configuration setting gives you the option to hide the Off Route icon displayed in CoPilot when the driver leaves the planned route. The icon is shown by default. The setting is:

[Application]
"ShowOORAlert"=1 // Set to 0 to hide the Off Route icon

Updated rollover icon

The high rollover risk alert icon has been changed to yellow from red to help distinguish it from other warning icons.

High rollover risk warning

High rollover risk warning

Language update

The country name “Turkey” was updated to “Turkiye” in the My Maps screen.

Removed Feature

The option to save maps to an SD card has been removed from the My Maps screen on devices running Android 11 or higher. SD card map storage is no longer recommended with newer versions of Android.

Bug Fixes

Fixed issues where CoPilot might revert to the original route after the driver has accepted a detour.

Fixed an issue where the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) warning pop-up would continue to be displayed even after the drive selects a detour around it.

Fixed CoPilot’s detour logic to better account for a vehicle’s current position.
