The popular CoPilot GPS navigation application launched across both Apple and Android operating system platforms a little over a year ago. In its first year of availability, the application was downloaded an astounding 4.5 million times, and now that advanced GPS feature is available for the HTC Windows Phone 8X. This free application hit the HTC Windows Phone 8X and other Windows Phone mobile products this week, and the incredible popularity is in part due to a very easy to use interface.
The HTC 8X 4G Windows Phone Black is available for a reduced sale price now starting at $49.99.
The CoPilot GPS application also offers a walking mode that integrates automatically with Yelp, Google, and Wikipedia searches to help you explore cities which you are unfamiliar with. The GPS navigational application delivers off-line access to maps, and offers intuitive and powerful trip and route planning tools. You can even store extremely detailed street-level maps and other points of interest for an entire country on the Windows Phone 8X smartphone, which comes equipped with 16.0 GB of built-in storage space.
Also accompanying the free CoPilot GPS app is 14 days of voice guided 3D car navigation features, as well as the CoPilot ActiveTraffic application which does exactly what it sounds like. This feature provides real-time traffic information, and after the 14 day trial, Windows Phone 8X owners continue to enjoy “free and unlimited access to offline maps and route planning.” You can also upgrade after the two-week trial period to receive unlimited turn by turn navigation.
The HTC Windows Phone 8X is a 4G LTE and HSPA+ capable smartphone. The exclusive HTC Beats Audio application is present, amplifying sound through dedicated speaker and headset amps. The first Windows Phone to offer Beats Audio, the device arrives in a slim and light form factor, measuring just 0.40 inches (10.1 mm) in thickness and weighing just 4.59 ounces (130 g). The large 4.30 inch display offers an extremely high pixel density, at 342 pixels per inch.
That Super LCD 2 screen presents more than 16 million colors, is protected by a scratch resistant layer of Gorilla Glass 2, and delivers a True HD resolution of 720 by 1,280 pixels. The phone is capable of up to 15.0 hours of talk time and 12.5 days of standby power on Verizon’s 4G LTE network, and the cornerstone of its hardware package is a dual core 1.5 GHz CPU. 1.0 GB of RAM is on board, and an Adreno 225 GPU handles graphics processing.
