Featuring a 4.3-inch, touch-sensitive color display with 480 x 272 resolution, Dash Navigation's Dash Express, a GPS unit that can draw data from Wi-Fi hotspots and its own built-in cellular connection, is scheduled to ship in February 2008. Dash Express can be preordered for $599, which includes three free months of wireless service. Dash Navigation is now taking preorders for a dashboard unit that feature a two-way wireless connection to the Internet. Called the Dash Express, the GPS-based navigation device is designed to provide mobile users with access to information on local traffic, road conditions, and even gasoline prices.
The built-in cellular GPRS and Wi-Fi capabilities of Dash Express give users instant access to information about what's happening along the freeways and arterial roads on which they expect to travel.
This picture of road conditions is compiled from the data gathered by each and every unit on the network, together with information supplied by unrelated traffic resources. In addition, Dash Express automatically alerts travelers whenever traffic conditions suddenly change and a faster route becomes available.
