Remove CoPilot

---

How can I remove CoPilot from my HD2. I don't want to use it and can use the space.

Remove:

\Program Files\CoPilot
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\CoPilot.lnk
\Storage Card\COPILOT

I happen to like CoPilot.

As a longtime CPL user, I have been somewhat disappointed in ALK ever since CPL 6, and especially with CPL 7, which was almost a year late, dropped Text to Speech, and had old USA maps. I've been using CPL 6 on my HD. Maybe ALK will finally redeem themselves with CPL 8, considering they plan to offer TTS in a "premium" version later this year. (Interestingly, their iPhoney version has TTS as a standard feature.)

CP8, Maps & TTS

---

I am considering CoPilot 8. ALK claims they have the latest maps for CP8, but no TTS yet.

Anyone have CP8 that can tell us about the North America maps? I live in Houston.

But I DO like that they don't lock you to a SIM card

You can't remove files from ROM. Period. There's no way to free up space taken by the CoPilot package unless you re-cook a ROM without it. That won't happen until HSPL is out.

100% correct.

90% of CoPilot consists of map data which was included on the bundled 2 GB MicroSD card. That can be permanently removed, and is not a part of ROM.

You can also remove the Program Files of the program and the Start Menu shortcut, to free up NVRAM space and icon clutter, although they will be reinstalled from ROM on a hard reset unless you cook it.

That's what the OP was asking.

If map data was copied from the card to the device then yes, it definitely can be removed. "Removing" ROM files will not free up any space.

The CoPilot executable is installed from ROM at hard reset. The files it installs in \Program Files\CoPilot can be removed after hard reset to free up a tiny amount of space, but they will be reinstalled at hard reset.

The executable exists in ROM as a CAB, and as you say, cannot be removed except by re-cooking the ROM. However, the installed files in \Program Files\CoPilot are not in ROM, and can be removed after hard reset to free some space for the root filesystem.

The map data is preinstalled on the Micro-SD card at manufacturing, but it is not installed by the ROM. If the 1 GB or so of map data on \Storage Card\COPILOT is erased, then there is no way to recover it except to buy maps from ALK, such as by buying the full version.

The CoPilot installed on the Leo is a 15-day trial version, which must be activated with a license key to become the full version. When you buy a license key, you get access to the latest executables and maps.

There is one more thing, much more painful - how to remove system integration with CoPilot?

I'm TomTom user and would be happy to see TT in NaviPanel and use TT (or at least Google Maps) in Footprints.

Regedit "HKLM\Software\Htc\Navisw", change Value SDKModule to anything else that is not alk dll and footprint integration will revert back to google maps. You will have no Navipanel use for navigation though, as the navigation buttons will be greyed out.
