Out of stock | | | | | | Stuck in traffic and want to know if you are going to make that meeting on time, or need to call and warn someone? Will you make it to your kid's recital, or be home in time for dinner? Wouldn't it be nice to know which route to work is going to be faster today before leaving your driveway, and be automatically updated if traffic changes once you're under way? Knowledge isn't just power, it's a time-saver, too. And 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 Dash Driver Network provides Dash 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 Dash Driver Network always have the best, most up-to-date traffic information available. It's a growing network for better information. However, even the first Dash devices in an area get traffic data that's superior to other GPS devices. That's because Dash devices receive traffic info from road sensors, commercial fleets and other sources through our partnership with Inrix, the premier traffic data provider in the U.S. Starting with the first devices in each market, Dash adds further value by using 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 Dash Driver Network provides coverage on nearly 2 million miles of US road, and provides the only source of live traf | | | | | |

Buyer Beware---Do not purchase this product. Jul 17, 2010 Hello,
I was one of many original BETA testers for the Dash Network GPS systems. I loved it when it was working at full capacity and hated it when it was just a stand alone GPS unit.
Please be aware that as of July 1, 2010, the Dash Network services is no longer supported or functional and I don't know if the company still exist anymore. If you go to their website, [...] you will only see a message that says, "The Dash Express product is no longer available".
PLEASE, save yourself the money and don't purchase this product or else you'll end up with a useless paper weight.
You've been warned.
Broken Dash Navigator Aug 28, 2009 I received a broken navigation system. It was sent back for refund as I was very disappointed. This navigation system was not defective. I contacted Dash and they informed me the seller knew it would not work. These systems holds accounts with Dash. It could not be registered with Dash. Terrible service.
Worst GPS Device on the Market! Aug 08, 2009 This is the worst GPS ever. It can't find 60% of the addresses. It doesn't know how to take the fastest route. It can't find Highways that have been open for 15 years! It has 100's of options but only 1 or 2 actually function. Your trip resets and stops itself constantly. It directs you to make u-turns instead of just going the correct route. This thing is a JOKE!! I owned an old Magellan from 99' and it was 20 times the GPS that the 2009 Dash is. This Dash SUCKS!!! DO NOT BUY THIS GPS!!!!!!!

My DASH unit hasn't been working for some time - no help Jul 19, 2009
I liked the DASH when I got it, and I liked the Yahoo local search feature.
My DASH hasn't been responding to my touch for months, and no one at DASH has been able to help or is even responding to my requests.
They are still charging my monthly subscription.
I would stay away from them in future.
Thanks.
Overall don't understand all the controversy over this device... Apr 22, 2009 I found out about Dash a little late and considered not buying it due to Dash getting out of the hardware business, however the concept and the reviews seemed promising. I read a lot about the shortfalls and expected those to be something I lived with after getting it and setting it up. Common complaints I read were the traffic service not functioning well, the Yahoo Local search being down a lot, slow startup, inaccurate or silly routing, etc. I have not had any of these problems and wonder if these reviews were written before several updates that have taken place or just due to user error (more common than you might think). This thing is worlds better than our Garmin (C580) we're retiring and at the price we paid as a result of Amazon clearing them, it is a steal compared to any of the current Garmins or TomToms that still do not offer a comprehensive and logical 2-way data stream service. A new $800 unit from Garmin doesn't do much more than our 4 year old Garmin did except cost more and have a bigger screen. Anyway, thus far my wife and I are very satisfied and it house taken us on some unique routes and gotten us out of a lot of traffic already. I would imagine if you don't live in a major metro this is not the unit for you, but I think I got a bargain and hope the service sticks around for many years to come.
