Do you know if the Tiffin Copilot system is the same as the ALK Copilot software?
If so, I've got ALK Copilot installed on my Android tablet and I'm definitely underwhelmed. The display/user interface is clunky, the routing (even though it's set for my RV) is flukey and not trustworthy, building routes is cumbersome, etc. For example, as I'm typing this I just plugged in a nearby gas station and generated a route, but Copilot is sending me down a dirt road. Maybe there's a way to turn off "unpaved roads" somewhere in the setup, but I haven't found it. And why would an RV-specific system ever select a dirt road anyway? Admittedly, I've been using the Garmin/MapSource interface for decades so maybe it's just one of those incidents where the system is just different and I haven't spent enough time with it. Still, I used it for a while and then decided it wasn't worth it, and haven't bothered with it in months.
If the Tiffin system is not the ALK software, then (as Rosanne Rosannadana would say), "Never mind..."
