Trimble CoPilot is the navigation half of the Trimble routing stack, and its strongest argument is consistency: the in-cab app runs on PC*Miler, so the route a planner quotes is the route the driver follows and the miles that get billed. Fleet managers set routing profiles, road preferences and custom sites once and push them to every driver, and the app adds load-specific guidance for seven Hazmat categories and ADR tunnel codes, offline navigation, lane guidance, rollover and sharp-curve warnings, and HOS break planning from ELD feeds. Truck Parking Club is built in for reserving parking. Pricing is split: Trimble's fleet store lists the CoPilot Truck Navigation Subscription at $8.00 per unit per month, but the store terms tie it to a core Trimble fleet subscription, and larger fleets license it through sales. Trimble says CoPilot can cut out-of-route miles by up to 10%, a vendor figure rather than an independent test.
