I married mine and the benefits are multiple:
- looking 360 degr. round with me
- keeps quit when not asked but warns in case of real dangers
- keeps me warm in bed
- makes my breakfast
- carries my arms when she is on the pillion (she is my weapon officer as well)
- promised me to upgrade from time to time (cost me only one morning in a beauty farm)
- promised me to stay effective for the rest of my or her life

What do you want more from a co-pilot?

Copilots are now referred to as first officer.

I have been using Co-Pilot for years as my maps. I even upgraded to a paid version about 5 years ago. I have the whole North America map downloaded and it is so nice not having to worry about losing data in the middle of nowhere. After using mine a while, I stuck my Garmin in the closet and haven't used it since.

I like the way I can set up the different profiles for Motorcycle, car, rv, etc. I have different route preferences for each, but I don't think that is available in the free version.

I don't really have any special tips other than you can now disable Google maps so it isn't always tracking you. lol

Been using it off and on for a while. As mentioned earlier, adjusting the profiles for your motorcycle to keep you on the type of roads you want to be on.

Also, check the average speeds set for each type of road - they were WAY low by default in mine. I bumped most of them up by 10 or 15 mph, and the estimated time for routes match up better with Google or Waze for the same route.

Wish there was a way to make it a little less chatty - it interrupts my music a little too much :-)
