The AA has launched its own satnav app.
Well, sort of. The £27 download actually appears to be ALK CoPilot Live [1] with a yellow skin.

The savvy buyer will opt for CoPilot - it's only £20. Or you could go for the AA's Route Planner app [2], which lacks guidance but will work out how to get from A to B. It costs £1.79.
Canny punters will use Google Maps for route planning, because it comes with the iPhone and is free.
The AA satnav app [3], which covers the UK and Ireland, has all the customary functionality, including seven-digit postcode searching, lane indication, speed camera warnings and thousands upon thousands of Points of Interest.
It's available now. ®
