I can't understand why so many people gave it great reviews. Maybe my old brain just couldn't get the hang of the steps necessary to get it to work without problems.

Couldn't agree more. CoPilot is a product that I started using back in the old Windows phone days and came back to it a total of three times with thousands of miles each time. Each time I stopped using it and swore never again.

I could go on and on about the technical issues with the product but I wont. My problem is the ethics of the company. They advertise real sign post data and the truth is their data has no idea what the real sign post actually says. They're simply using the road names as they exist in their map data and putting those road names on a green colored sign and claiming that to be real signpost data. Since many road signs do have the intersecting street names in them, most people don't think anything of it. Unfortunately for them, many signposts have names of attractions, city names and other things unrelated to the crossing road name and it becomes easy to see they're dishonest approach. Any company that allows their marketing people to do that, I won't have anything to do with.
