ALK Technologies at least believes we're willing to splurge, as it's bringing versions of its CoPilot GPS apps (http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/26/copilot-gps-app-ios-android/) to both Windows Phone 8 as well as Windows 8. Both platforms will share the extras we've seen in the Android and iOS releases, such as on-the-fly route editing, speed limit warnings and local search that involves Wikipedia, Yelp and Google -- shh, don't tell Microsoft (http://www.engadget.com/2012/12/14/editorial-windows-phone-future-without-google/). ALK is also promising a similar, two-tiered pricing approach that will offer both a free planning-only app as well as a paid Premium version that delivers turn-by-turn navigation and a year of live traffic information. The catch is an extreme wait for the Windows builds: the two will only appear just as we're setting out on our summer vacations.
