Trimble Announces Major Update to CoPilot Commercial Navigation for Improved Safety and Efficiency

Trimble has announced the latest version of Trimble CoPilot, our in-cab commercial vehicle navigation solution, with a major refresh of the user interface and all-new predictive parking and trip planning functionalities. This major update to CoPilot aims to enhance fleet efficiency by creating safer and more-predictable journeys for drivers.

Rich with Trimble’s proprietary commercial mapping data – including location intelligence from its over five million commercial vehicle-specific locations – the new version of CoPilot combines a modern and intuitive driver experience with the Trimble PC*Miler routing algorithm and Trimble’s robust commercial vehicle location database. Added functionality for the new version of CoPilot includes:

• • Improved Display Options – New landscape and portrait modes provide a more-flexible experience for drivers using tablets, so they can see the road as they prefer.
  • Information at a Glance – More data – including trip details, maps and route information – are displayed always-on to enhance safety by eliminating the need for drivers to interact with or switch between multiple screens.
  • Map-First Application – Our new map display provides drivers with additional visual cues and the ability to switch between various display options, including satellite imagery and 3D buildings.
  • Predictive Parking – North American customers receive live parking insights within CoPilot, including peak hours and predicted availability, to help drivers plan efficiently before arriving at a location or truck stop.
  • Enhanced Trip Planning – Transformative trip management provides recommended break locations between a driver’s origin and destination based on real-time data, including facility operation hours, HOS-compliance, average facility dwell times and other applicable amenities.
  • Additional Improvements – Android Auto infotainment system compatibility creates seamless integration with native vehicle applications. 

“We’re proud to unveil the new CoPilot – our most robust version yet,” said Rishi Mehra, sector vice president of commercial mapping and routing technology at Trimble. “This marks a significant milestone in Trimble’s commitment to deliver precise navigation and ensure safety on the road. Providing drivers with real-time, truck-compliant route guidance is crucial to moving the essential goods we all rely on. Simply put, CoPilot keeps trucks and freight moving – smoothly, efficiently and predictably.”

Trimble CoPilot will be available via the Google Play store mid-October 2024, and then made available across Trimble’s wide range of fleet telematics partners will be ongoing. Visit our website to learn more about Trimble CoPilot, or contact our team.
