Question 1: Is there a free upgrade to version 10?
Answer: Not any more. There was a
path to upgrade in 2019, but it is now closed. You can buy
version 10 here:
CoPilot Truck Version 10 for laptops.
Question 2: I have version 9. Is version 10 a
lot different? Is there a video comparison?
Answer: Version 10 looks a LOT more
like a mobile app than older versions of CoPilot Truck. It is
quite different, yet somewhat the same.

Question 3: If I just want to get the newest
possible maps for my version 9, what are they and how do I do it?
Answer:
Follow steps A to F below
.
A) Check your current version. If
you have CoPilot version 9 already on your computer, you can get
maps up to the 2019 revision. They will not put out 2020 and
beyond maps for version 9 or any older version. Check your program version
by going to the "Main Menu" then "Settings" then "Scroll the screen
down to the bottom and click "About CoPilot." This page will show
you 3 important things: your program version, your map version,
and your product key.
If you don't have that product key saved
elsewhere, you should write it somewhere now. It will look like
the image below:

B) Upgrade to the latest version - Version 9.6.8.1300 -
if necessary. If you already have version 9.6.8.1300
then move on to step F. If you do need version 9.6.8.1300 then
go to step D.
C) Upgrade CoPilot ver 9 to last version 9.
Install CoPilot
ver 9 using the following link.
(Version 9 install link) If you are
installing onto a machine that already has version 9, then just
install over the top. If you are installeing fresh, then use
your same product key as before to activate it. If using your same
email as before, choose the "Use existing CoPilot ID" method. If you have a new email
address, use the "Create new CoPilot ID method." If you do not
remember your CoPilot ID password, click here to reset it -->
CoPilot
ID password Reset.D) Getting new maps
for version 9.
When you update to this newest revision of version 9 CoPilot, it will
ask you to download new maps upon install. You will then have
the newest maps available. To periodically check if there are
newer maps in the future, simply open the program and navigate to "Main
Menu, then My CoPilot, then My Maps, then North America." If there
are new maps, it will tell you here and allow you do download them.
Check to see if yours are the newest in the "About CoPilot" screen.
The last version for 9 will say "2019.01" as in the picture above.
