Product Description--March 24, 2008
Introducing Dash Express, the first two-way Internet-connected GPS navigation system. Dash delivers traffic and destination information in exciting new ways, and offers a wide range of new capabilities available from the car that makes a typical GPS practically obsolete. Dash is the smartest way to get from A to B, and find everything in between.
Overview  Dash Express provides current and truly accurate traffic data

What the press is saying  | "This is the most drool-worthy device since the iPhone."
O'Reilly Radar (10.19.2007)
"Dash: One GPS Device to Rule Them All"
Wired (10.19.2007)
"The most advanced attempt at dynamic content is currently being made by Dash"
New York Times (10.24.2007)
"Dash is, in our opinion, the pioneer in 2nd generation GPS navigation systems."
Navigadget (1.17.2008)
"After a hands-on session with the Dash Express, it's looking like getting traffic right could be just the tip of the iceberg for this powerful navigator."
GPS Magazine (1.8.2008)
"Dash goes to the next level and raises the bar for all GPS navigation systems. Now the static and limited points of interests (POI) seem so yesterday." Ubergizmo (10.19.2007) |
TruTraffic: The most comprehensive traffic resource available Dash Express has the smartest, most advanced traffic solution available—the innovative Dash Driver Network. Combined with comprehensive historical and sensor-based traffic information, the Network provides users with the most detailed, accurate and current traffic picture available today.
 Dash approaches traffic in an entirely different way — by collecting it from other people driving real commute routes, during real commute times. Each Dash Express anonymously and automatically sends its position and speed back to servers at the Dash Network Operations Center. The Dash servers then update all other Dash devices in the area with current road speeds. That way, members of the Network always have the best, most up-to-date traffic available.
Dash devices receive traffic info from road sensors, commercial fleets and other sources through our partnership with Inrix, the premier traffic flow data provider in the U.S. However, even the first Dash devices in an area get traffic data that's superior to other GPS devices, as Dash uses these initial cars to calibrate the sensor data. This lets Dash assign it a high (straight line) or medium (dotted line) confidence rating, giving you all the information you need at a glance. The larger our network grows, the better traffic information becomes.
 In addition, Dash frequently updates each Dash device with the most comprehensive historical traffic database in the industry — a combination of third party and Dash driver data. Dash knows how fast every road segment you drive historically moves during each of 672 separate 15-minute time periods during the week.
Dash Express users will begin to see the benefits of the Dash Driver Network with only a few devices in a given market. And every additional device in the area just makes the Network better. It takes a surprisingly small number of drivers in a major city for Dash to provide live up-to-the-minute data for most roads during commute hours.
The Dash Driver Network also allows us to provide coverage on nearly 2 million miles of US road, and offers the only source of traffic flow data for surface streets.
All of this adds up to the best traffic data in the industry. The kind of timely data you need to make good driving decisions, as well as accurately estimate and track your arrival time once you've selected your route.
Dash Express Interface
Routing: Choice is good  | Most portable GPS devices offer only a single route to your destination. Dash presents up to three different routes, provides the distance to your destination, and uses real traffic information to calculate travel times for each route. Even after you've selected a route, Dash automatically alerts you if traffic conditions change significantly.
You can also get a quick snapshot of traffic in your area. Dash allows you to visualize current traffic conditions on both major and secondary roads by color: stop-and-go traffic is red, moderate congestion is orange, somewhat better is yellow, and free-flowing roads are green. Solid lines represent live traffic derived from the Dash Driver Network. Dashed lines mean traffic data is either 3rd party sensor or historical data. As the Network grows you'll see more and more of the dashed lines become solid. You've never had this much traffic information on the road before. And knowledge is power. |  | Flow data vs. incident data
Freeway breakdowns and accidents are nice to know about, but what really matters is the speed of traffic around them. Most GPS devices that show traffic rely primarily on 'incident data,' which only tells you where and when an incident happened, not how it's affecting traffic now. Dash uses the speed of traffic, or flow data, to help make the arrival times the most accurate on the road. |
Faster Traffic updates
For Dash drivers, live traffic information is broadcast instantly over a high data-rate cellular (GPRS) connection, rather than via a carousel on a one-way analog FM signal like some other "connected" devices. As a result of the two-way, "always-on" connection, the depth and breadth of information Dash can receive is far superior to most other GPS devices.
 No matter where you're headed, with Dash you'll always be able to find exactly what you need, because Dash connects you to the vast and always-updating Internet. A typical GPS device only accesses a canned database of information that stopped being current the moment it was pre-installed at the factory.
Dynamic data is fresh data
Using Dash, you can connect to Yahoo! Local search and find unlimited, up-to-date information all in real-time, and rated by real users. Yahoo! community ratings make sure where you're headed is really somewhere you want to go.
With a touch of a button, you can find everything from the cheapest gas station to the latest concerts, the best restaurants, the closest yoga studios, dog-friendly parks or even nearby apartments for rent (see "Saved Searches").
And, all of this searching is done from a single, keyboard-based interface. With Dash, you don't have to learn the confusing folder/category structures that many GPSs use. Dash lets you search for content the same way you would on a PC—simply type a word and in seconds Dash dynamically returns the latest results.
Two-way Connectivity  Dash Express wirelessly connects to the Dash Service using both cellular GPRS and Wi-Fi radios. For cellular, Dash uses a GPRS network composed of multiple carriers, so the coverage range is larger than any single national carrier (see map).
Although Wi-Fi has a more limited range, it typically transmits data faster than GPRS, making it ideal for downloading new software and features to the device. In addition, Dash has a powerful (high gain) Wi-Fi antenna that lets it connect to networks from much greater range than even your typical laptop so you can connect to your home network from an impressive distance away. In many cases, you'll even be able to transfer information from your driveway.
Dash Express constantly looks for, and connects to, whichever network is available (GPRS and/or Wi-Fi). Sometimes, it even connects to both at the same time, so it's always ready to send or receive information.
In the rare event that you're outside our coverage area, the Dash device still functions as a traditional, unconnected GPS. Using maps, historical traffic data, and points of interest stored in the device, Dash has all the information it needs to help you navigate around and get the information that's important to you.
 | The Dash experience extends beyond the device itself. Whether at home, the office, or out of town, you can log into your MyDash account from any Internet-connected computer to easily manage and send information to your device.
Send2Car does what it says, and more
There are two easy ways to send addresses to your Dash Express. Just log into MyDash, type an address, click Send, and the selected destination appears on your device within seconds. (If the device is off at the time, the address will be cached and re-sent the moment it is turned on.) You can even rename the address, and add notes and phone numbers. Imagine sending a Dash friend the address of your favorite restaurant with a note to "meet me there at 7 pm."
There is also a software plug-in for most web browsers and Microsoft Outlook. Simply highlight the address, right-click and select "Send2Car". The Dash Service quickly validates the address and transmits it to your device, all in seconds—no typing required. And, if you're already on the road, someone else can send addresses to you just as quickly.
Send2Car is the fastest, most intuitive way to send addresses to your Dash Express. |
 | With MyDash, you can easily add the power of the Dash community to your device. Browse our library of user-created and locally relevant searches, such as "Great Steakhouses," "Bay Area Athletic Events", and "Apartments for Rent". You can even share your own local expertise with other users.
Save time by creating shortcuts to your most commonly used Yahoo! Local searches. Enter your search terms on MyDash and send them to your device. Seconds later, those search buttons will appear on your device, allowing you to perform the searches you want with just one touch right from the car.
"MyLists" let you group addresses into a single search category. From your favorite coffee shops to the locations of your son's basketball games, with MyDash you can create and send MyLists to your device so you can easily organize and route to the places that matter most to you.
If you want to see other Dash users' recommendations just browse MyDash for publicly available MyLists and send what you want to your device. You can share your own local knowledge as well, or keep your MyLists private so your favorite local dive doesn't become a permanent hot spot.
Continually refreshed location-based content is showing up all over the Web, from the latest concert dates and times, to the most current airport delays. "MyFeeds" allows you to view up-to-date content at the touch of a button — just enter the URL for the source of the information on MyDash and send it to your device. Every time you hit the button, the Dash service will go straight to the source to get the most recent content and display it on your device. |
| With the exclusive AutoUpdate feature, the Dash Service updates and improves your device without requiring you to connect to your computer or take it back to the dealer. Dash updates software, maps, and historical traffic information seamlessly.
This two-way connected feature not only saves you time and hassle, it ensures the accuracy, timeliness and relevance of your Dash Express content, maps and software. Most other GPS devices rely only on static map and traffic data that are pre-loaded at the factory months before. |
Theft Resistant The unique "theft-deterrent" feature can remotely disable your Dash device instantly, removing your personal data, shutting the device down, and making it a worthless target to would-be thieves.
The Dash Service All the Internet-connected benefits of this system require a subscription to the Dash Service. Superior traffic information from the Dash Driver Network saves you valuable time, Yahoo! Local search gives you the convenience of finding exactly what you're looking for, and access to the MyDash website lets you customize and load locally relevant content onto your device. The Dash service also gives you free map updates (which can cost over $200 on some other systems) plus the latest software and feature updates from Dash. Once you experience connected personal navigation, we're certain you'll never look back.
Each device comes with a FREE three-month trial period. To subscribe, select from one of these service plan options.
- Purchase a two-year prepaid plan for the equivalent of $9.99 a month
- Purchase a 1-year prepaid plan for $10.99 a month
- Purchase a month-to-month plan for the rate of $12.99 a month.
As part of any Dash service, you get unlimited usage of all Dash connected features, including cellular connectivity, all map and software updates and unlimited access to MyDash. There are no extra cellular or WiFi charges—Dash takes care of it all. For comparison, each map update alone for other automotive GPS devices typically costs from $149 to over $200.
A service plan is not required. Even if you choose not to subscribe after your initial trial period, you'll still have a great GPS device in Dash. It will simply be missing the life-changing connected features including live traffic, search, and Send2Car. However, the onboard maps, routing, address book, address entry (using its touch screen keyboard) and points of interest will ensure you still have a great GPS experience.
Note: Currently, Dash Express is only available in the United States.

 Best thing to happen to GPS, could not live without it now March 27, 2008
Ryan N. Holloway (Washington, DC)
122 out of 160 found this review helpful
I have also been a beta tester since day 1. As it is now, this is the best GPS device available. I can't stress enough how convenient the WIFI search is. If you need to know how to get somewhere, you just type in ANYTHING and search Yahoo! In the mood for a type of food? Just type it in. Meeting friends at a club you have not been to? Type in the name only, it will find it. Need to find a Target, any chain? Just type in the name of that Chain and pick any of tons of listings it will display in order of closest to farthest. This is sooooooo nice to have I would never have a GPS without it.
Also the send to car feature is another I love. Install a Firefox plugin, highlight any address, off Google Maps, Yahoo! Local, the place you want to go's address of their main page, anything, then just right click and select send to car. Thats it. Next time you drive, VERY QUICKLY a message will pop up with the place you sent. You don't have to type anything, that's it.
Traffic is real time and dead on in the Washington DC area. Countless times I get a TRAFFIC AHEAD and just press routes and it will give you alternative routes around it. It is dead on most of the time also, if there are a bunch of cars in line making a left turn, that little bit of the road on the map will be red, if after the turn its no traffic, it will be green. Almost scary accurate.
Basically, best GPS ever. For the price you are getting so much more it's really a no brainer.

Dash Express - a winner April 1, 2008
Phil Hulst (Atlanta, GA USA)
33 out of 37 found this review helpful
First of all, I am neither a beta tester nor do I have any connection with the Dash Corporation. I ordered my unit based on the fact that: my Garmin was getting a little old; and I was intrigued with the connectivity, not just for traffic, but also for web searches for information. I paid for it the old-fashioned way - myself!
Admittedly, I have had my unit only for about 30 hours (it arrived on the 31st), but I am pleased with almost every aspect of it so far.
To comment on some of the complaints:
Size: it is not as small as a nuvi, but appears to be about the same size as my Garmin c330, although more elegantly designed. I personally don't find the size to be a problem since I don't plan to walk around with a GPS - I use my iPhone Maps to determine my location outside of the car if I get lost. Someone commented that the power connection was on the cradle and not directly into the unit. I don't see that as a problem, I see that as a feature and have the same feature with my old Garmin. There is a power connection on the unit when you want to power up inside, but popping the unit from the cradle is a snap and the power connection stays connected on the cradle.
Graphics: Someone complained they looked "elementary." I find them to be clean and crisp. The white line that outlines the route took a bit of getting used to since I was used to the highlighted pink of the Garmin, but now that I have gotten used to it (in this short period of time), I like it. I do agree that zooming in on the three D mode when approaching an intersection would be helpful. The screen is bright and easy to read.
Routing: I've been pleased with the speed of routing and the "recalculating" function. There is no verbal indication that the recalculating is occurring, but it does happen quickly (and the word "recalculating" appears on the top of the screen. I like having the several choices of routes (from 1 - 3) and have found them to be the exact routes that my Garmin has recommended (again only a day of use). I appreciate the ability to upload address from my computer to be accessible on my Dash when I get into my car. I had never thought I'd appreciate the traffic function, but so far have found it to be great. Living in Atlanta, there are obviously a number of other units in the area and I'm finding that not only the interstates, but also the main surface streets in the areas I traveled thus far have up-to-date traffic information.
And I've already saved 20 cents a gallon on gas. That's going to continue to be a great pay off..
Although I've only used a Garmin up through yesterday, I have observed Tom-Toms and Magellans and dealer-installed units in friends cars and I realize that each one has a different look and feel to the way things are handled and processed. I must admit, however, that so far I'm pleased with the look and feel of the Dash and would find it difficult to go back.
The Dash truly is the iPhone of GPS units (if not in design elegance, at least in functionality) and is an amazing first generation product. The learning curve is not great. The unit and the way it operates is elegant. And I look forward to any upgrades that might make it even better.
Not Your Father's GPS March 27, 2008
John Oram
33 out of 41 found this review helpful
I've been testing with Dash for just under a year. The Dash Express is not your father's GPS unit -- Dash is changing the game.
The live traffic is great. I'm in the Bay Area and have been lucky enough to have quite a few other Dash testers in the area. The accuracy of the traffic colors and ETAs have been very good -- I've found that traffic colors are updated more quickly than in Google Maps on my Blackberry or 511.org. It even shows traffic on side streets (both historical and live), great for avoiding nasty intersections and backups in parts of town you don't know.
I've long been frustrated by GPS units. Great potential, but firmware and POIs and maps get out of date and updating isn't cheap, or easy. This is something you simply don't have to worry about with the Dash. I get home, it hooks up to my WiFi network from the garage and downloads any new updates. (WiFi performance is especially impressive.)
It contains plenty of hooks for the technical user to dig into. For example, you can take an RSS feed and 'geo-encode' it using Yahoo Pipes and save it as a search on the Dash. You could make your own geo-RSS feed if you wanted, or input a KML file.
http://my.dash.net/developer/feed_formats?layout=popup
There's also an API in development.
The online search has already saved me many times. A few months ago my parents were visiting and we were running errands in a part of town I don't know well at all. It's 2PM, we missed lunch, we're hungry and grumpy, and we're in one of those industrial parks where restaurants aren't common and we haven't seen anything, never mind anything appealing. I enter 'mexican' into the Dash and via Yahoo Local it pops up a five-star taqueria a few blocks away. It didn't look like much from the outside, but the rating was well deserved. I never would have found it without the Dash Express. Happy and full, we were able to pick the route home with the least traffic.
This is just release 1.0. While there are a lot of things I want to see added (defining custom routes, etc) the good news is the people at Dash listen to feature requests and with the Dash Express' WiFi software updates, I might actually see them.
My Dash Review March 27, 2008
M. Bellon (NEW CASTLE, DE USA)
38 out of 49 found this review helpful
First off I want to state that I am not a paid employee of Dash nor have they paid me to make the following statements. I have however been allowed to test drive this device before the general public was able to purchase one.
After having my dash unit for almost 1 year now I can't imagine being without it. Contrary to some other reviews that I have read the GPS is acurate. It also allows me a direct connection to information on the internet as well as it is portable, and it has never let me down. The fact that it is updatable via periodic downloads from dash means it will never be out of date like the other thousands of dollars worth of paperweights sitting on my shelf from Garmin, Tom Tom and Magellan is an added plus.
I have had numerous people in my travels stop me and talk to me about "that thing on my dash" almost every day. But for me that thing was more than a GPS...It's a dream come true. The conversation usually starts "Is that a GPS on your windshield?" I tell them that it is, but it is also the next level of the future of information delivery in their car and they need "Dash Express." I have even invited them to take a look at it first hand and show them the numerous bells and whistles like movie times, gas prices and the local weather and Weather Alert rss feed I created myself.. This usually gets them thinking of something they would like to spontaneously look up from the internet while out on the road. like the nearest (Starbucks) I just respond "With a Dash you are only limited to your imagination." I honestly can't wait to see what new functions and featurs Dash comes up with next.
I can think of many times Dash has helped me while on the road but the following is an example of one of my favorite Dash moments that stands out.
For several years I have always kept a laptop in my car with me for emergencies and had a access card for the Internet. This was very difficult to use in the car, internet searches and responses were slow and these requests did not take into count my current location. And this was after waiting 10-20 minutes for it to start-up. Along comes Dash... I have always been impressed with the Internet search ability of "Yahoo local" and Dash, but on one particular day. My family and I were driving to dinner at a brand new restaurant in town . we had decided to leave around 4 to beat the dinner rush when we encountered a bad accident that had just happened right in front of us and were forced to stop on the Highway and wait for the emergency crews to clear the road. We had invited friends to join us and they were in a car right behind us. To make matters worse it was now 4:30pm on a Friday and we knew that by the time we got to the restaurant so would the rest of the working world and it would be at least another hour wait to get a table. My wife and I tried calling information on our cellphones to locate this new restaurant's number but since the restaurant was so new there was no listing yet. Just for giggles I checked Dash. typing in the restaurants name... Bam there it was and a phone # as well. I called the restaurant and made a reservation for 45 minutes from then. When we arrived there the line outside the door was huge. I heard several people complaining that the wait was going to be 2 hours. I walked up to the receptionist and said I am 5 minutes early , gave my name and asked if they were running on time with reservations. she replied "Right this way I have your table ready" THANKS DASH!!!
Traffic, real time gas prices, theater times and more! March 27, 2008
Alan Tripp (San Francisco, CA)
26 out of 34 found this review helpful
I have been testing the Dash for the past few months and I have to say I love it! Not only is it a huge time saver in terms of avoiding traffic with real-time data, its connectivity creates amazing new benefits that Dash is only just beginning to develop.
Two examples that are already available:
1) Need Gas? You can search for all the stations in a given radius of your current location, then rank order them by the real-time cost per gallon at each station.
2) Sudden impulse to see a movie? The system will find the nearest theaters *and* display the current movies and times for any theater.
I can only begin to imagine the implications of this technology for future connected services.
