Dash Diary: Third-Party Apps
August 6th, 2008 by Troy Dreier
Editor’s Note: One of the main features of the Dash Express GPS navigator, which we reviewed in March, is that it is the first plug-in navigator with an always-on cellular connection to the Internet. This lets you conduct live Yahoo searches for destinations, but, more importantly, it lets you receive live traffic data from other Dash-using drivers. Here is a video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zH9f2zUXct0) showing how it works.
Theoretically, the Dash will become more useful as more people buy the device, and their driving data is added to the collective. To see if the service is actually improving, we gave one to our resident GPS expert, Troy Dreier, to test out over a number of weeks. This is his third entry.
