Map storage

What are the storage requirements for running CoPilot?

CoPilot maps are stored in your mobile device’s internal storage, with no need for a constant mobile network connection.

When unpacking the installation files, CoPilot requires at least 1.5 times as much free disk space as the size of a map download. (For example, a 2.7 GB download of map data for all of North America would require 4.05 GB of free space). After the installation of CoPilot, the unused space is released again.

The amount of space needed to store maps varies depending on the map region you are installing, but typically:

  • A single European Country or North America region requires roughly 300 to 700 MB

  • Complete European maps require approximately 4 GB

  • All of North America (Canada + USA) requires 2.7 GB

Can I reduce the map data size of CoPilot?

Enterprise customers with Account Manager access have the option to create custom map sets that only include the regions they need. This can significantly reduce the size of the map data required on the device. These smaller map regions can be created using the Map sets feature in Account Manager.

If you believe that you may not have enough space on your device, please get in touch with us as there are a number of customization options that may be available to reduce the size as a last resort. Please note that map sizes change regularly and these increases in size can be significant.
