Atoll CoPilot 1.1


Category: Navigation
Price: $1.99 (iTunes)

Description:

Atoll CoPilot is a vehicle digital dashboard, introducing many amazing features. It's not just visualizing your current speed, heading or acceleration but also keeps an eye on following the legal speed limits, the driving style and reminds you to stop and have a rest if you driving too long.

Detailed features list include:
-Speed display:
The speed display of Atoll.CoPilot is "live" - it changes the font size and color depending on your acceleration, making the reading more expressive. Also, it shows average trip speed (tap to display it in full size) and the speed log chart. Then, your speed affects objects moving on the radar.
- HUD (Head-Up Display) mode:
Tapping the "HUD" icon mirrors all the text and removes small display details, so if you position the iPhone horizontally under your car's windscreen you can see perfectly readable half-transparent reflection of the picture displayed. We love this mode! We found it much more convenient compared to traditional car dashboards (especially on the roads of Western Europe, which are full of speed cameras and where you need to watch your speedometer all the time). And last but not the least - it just looks cool.
Note: this mode works pretty well at night time and twilight, but on direct sunlight the screen brightness can be insufficient.
-Driving style advisor:
Every 5 minutes Atoll.CoPilot checks the collected speed data and if you accelerating or braking too hard and too often reminds you about the safety. Sometimes, when you hurrying in the airport, overtaking one car by another it's good to have something that reminds you that missed plane doesn't worth your life! Of course, sensitivity of the advisor can be adjusted in Preferences, or it can be completely switched off.
-Satellite location info:
Information about your current location, altitude, speed, course and satellite measurement precision.
-Speed limit warnings:
Atoll.CoPilot can keep track on 4 speed limits, giving a warning each time you crossing it. Normally, it's legal speed limits within cities, local roads and high-speed motorways. "Never exceed speed" is the speed you should not exceed under any conditions. For example, it can be a technical limit of your vehicle or the point where government can arrest your driving license.
-Driving timer:
Displays current system time set on your iPhone and a time of your trip.
In some countries it's illegal to drive longer then particular period of time without having a break. Atoll.CoPilot can watch this period and remind you that it's necessary to stop and have some rest.
Tapping the "Clock" icon resets the timer, average speed and driving style adviser timeout.
-Compass:
Digital compass, showing your moving curse related to the true (not magnetic) North.
-Speed units :
The speed can be displayed in kilometers or miles per hour, sea knots and meters per second.
-Acceleration meter:
Displays current vehicle acceleration.
Note: program uses iPhone built-in accelerometer, what means the precision is affected by car vibration.

-Limitations:
The program is running only on GPS-enabled iPhones 3G (second generation or higher) with iPhone OS 2.2 or higher. No iPod Touch, 1st-generation iPhones or minor OS versions supported.
The precision is affected by the satellite signal quality. On open-sky spaces it's pretty good, but under other conditions can noticeably decrease. Also, after startup it requires some time to locate the necessary satellites, so during first minutes of running the measurement can be less effective. If unsure, use the program only for reference, don't rely on it for 100%.

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions about additional functionality, there is a big chance they will be implemented in next version. Please forward your requests to requests*atoll-ordenadores.com email address.
