tonyishuk Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Has anyone used an IPad with Copilot, and paired it with an iPhone to get position ? My IPad does not have any GPS functions, but does have the ability to pair with an iPhone either via Bluetooth or wifi hotspot. Rgds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyg3nwl Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Hi, I use Copilot but not on an ipad..my device is a samsung 10 inch tablet . the Copilot is the free version, and I have found out how to add points of interest on it, so it now has CaravanClub, Camping club, Acsi sites, National Trust, France Aires, France Passion, and some selected locations derived from Britstops. Copilot site explains how to do the adding, starting from csv format files. These can be downloaded from the club sites, or generated by someone who is computer literate. The csv files are also installable onto Garmin devices..I have the camper660 device. my wife has ipad, but uses it for email etc..we havent investigated it in relation to copilot, but it does work with Google earth, so I presume it would also work with appropriate version of Copilot.. it does not need linking to a phone. There are many other suitable sources of poi files, eg Archies, and Parking4night.or of course you can add any set you wish. The voice guidance on the tablet, needs a separate audio amplifier to be able to hear the direction above the cab road noise..I have made one from a Maplin kit of bits. tonyg3nwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phalange Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 i use copilot on my ipad but i connect it to a garmin glo gps locoator via bluetooth. I've never tried connecting to my phone, tbh i didn't know the gps function would work when connecting to a phone via bluetooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
