Does anyone have any experience with it maybe some screen shots on a lilli or xenarc screen?

Thanks,

No experience with Copilot, so I don't know how large the menu is that you speak of.. but (I'm sure you were already aware of this) you can "maximize" the GPS screen in CentraFuse by tapping where the song title is.. Would that be of any help?

Can't wait for the next CF release!!

copilot is perfect for touchscreens like the xenarc, that's what i have and it is fine.

you won't find any trials, ALK does not offer trials, only a 30-day money back guarantee thing.

Thanks for the replies. The top image was take from ALK's website and the bottom is Destinator 3 taken from Ninja Monkey's post Map Monkey : Screenshots here. As you can see the menu along the right side takes up a bit of room. I like the look of Destinator as far as filling up the screen but I think co-pilot is better suited for my needs. I'm just not sure how it would look integrated within Centrafuse. It does help that the screen can be enlarged by double clicking the title bar but I'm not sure how it will look embedded. Maybe the GUI is customizable to allow a full map screen?

I think Copilot might integrate pretty nicely.. here's what the GPS part looks like fullscreen (looks like Routis running), but should give you an idea of how much is of the screen is still in use by Centrafuse..

and the "windowed" mode for comparison:

[edit: added comparison]

WOW thanks.

That's copilot? It does look like Routis.

I meant to say "I'm fairly certain that 's Routis running" - I'm stuck with Streets & Trips for now. =(

Has anybody tried to get CoPilot to run embedded in the window? I don't think CoPilot will let you, I'll try it.

Any luck getting co-pilot to integrate in Centrafuse? Not sure if you have had the chance to try it out yet.

Thanks,
Chuck

it won't integrate, not easily at least. At some point in time there was someone working on integrating it with media car or something but it wasn't pretty.

What's the integration issue?
