Dash Express Community Powered GPS

dash express gps

There’s GPS, then there’s Dash. While your standard GPS units plot the shortest map between point A and point B, the Dash uses the power of community and the internet to drive your course. Dash not only uses satellite map information, it uses real-time traffic data from other Dash users, as supplemented by semi and municipal data. When the community of Dash systems automatically recognize traffic congestion on one street, this data is shared with other Dash systems. So if there are three routes available to get to your destination, Dash will avoid that busy street and select the quickest route.

Dash is also web-based local search system. If you want to find a restaurant by type, Dash integrates Yahoo! local search results to point you toward the highest rated restaurants in your destination area. Have an errand to run? Enter in the subject, like “weed wacker”, and Dash will provide you with store options and plot a course. While GPS will get you from point A to point B, Dash makes driving smarter, faster, and more integrated with your digital life.
