Trimble has announced the launch of the latest version of Trimble CoPilot, an in-cab commercial vehicle navigation solution. The update offers a refresh of the user interface and all-new predictive parking and trip planning functionalities.
This update to CoPilot aims to support fleets by creating safe and predictable journeys for drivers.
