New 2020-21 A-Z map update has been released for all Cabbie’s Mate devices and Apps:

ALL iOS iPhone – iPad and Android Cabbie’s Mate STANDARD and PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTION customers will receive the latest A-Z maps and April POI update automatically. If you have not received any notification, please open the app, tap on ‘i’ info button and tap on ‘downloads’.

We have been updating our A-Z maps TWICE A YEAR to keep up with changes. The first release is in Spring and the second is in Autumn. Cabbie’s Mate subscription customers receive both map updates automatically when released.

We have made a substantial investment on both iOS and Android Cabbie’s Mate apps and are redeveloping more technologically advanced apps with many more useful functions. We are aiming to release these apps towards the end of the year. These will replace current apps at no extra cost.

Until the end of 2020, A-Z map update will be £45 instead of £65 for all Cabbie’s Mate UNITS and will include lifetime A-Z POI update.

Please notify us by email of any new points you come across with location and of any changes to the names of points already in our database to allow us to maintain the quality of information and service which we constantly seek to achieve for our valued customers.

Our website www.navigationmaster.com is now mobile friendly.

Cabbie’s Mate iOS app compatibility

Cabbie’s Mate subscription app has been tested and working perfectly on iPhone 6, 7, 8, X, 11 and iPads running iOS 11,12 and 13. The app is no longer compatible with older ios versions since Apple no longer support older iOS versions. Cabbie’s Mate app will always be compatible with the last 3 iOS versions as this is the standard practice for apps.

The Cabbie’s Mate NON-subscription iOS app is not compatible and it is discontinued since Apple no longer supports older iOS versions.

Any unit not collected within 3 months will be disposed of without further notice.

For a device inspection, the set fee is £30. Should your device require physical repair this amount will be included in the repair fee and will not be added.

If you wish to comment further or for any suggestions, you can always contact us through our website or through your Cabbie’s Mate app. Thanking you in advance.

Please remember, although the functionality of both iOS and Android Cabbie’s Mate app is same, it performs much better on iPhones and iPads 3G/4G.

Advice on Phone or Tablet Preference for Cabbie’s Mate A-Z app

If you are going to purchase a device, our recommendation, based on our experience, would be an iOS device such as the iPhone 7 plus, 8 plus, X, 11 or the iPad running iOS 12 or 13. We are better placed to recommend our iOS App as there is only one manufacturer which is Apple and fewer versions of the operating system to work with. We know that our App works well on iOS. You will need to have a 3/4G (cellular) iPad for the app to work accurately.

Unfortunately, we cannot recommend a specific Android device as there are over 18,000 distinct Android devices on the market, device brands and models vary making it difficult for us to predict and recommend which devices and operating systems will be compatible with our app.
