A new approach to Traffic

Dash Express has the smartest, most advanced traffic solution available—the innovative Dash Driver Network. Each Dash Express anonymously and automatically sends its position and speed back to servers at the Dash Network Operations Center. This is combined with accurate in-road sensor data and other data and 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.

The Dash Driver Network allows us to provide coverage on nearly 2 million miles of US road, and provides the only source of live traffic flow data for surface streets in addition to highways. And on highways, Dash Driver Network data is much more extensive and accurate than other GPS devices. In addition, our traffic model itself tracks approximately ten times more road segments than any competitive products.

Routing: Choice is good.

Most portable GPS devices today offer you only a single route choice to your destination. Dash goes the extra mile by presenting up to three different routes to a destination, and uses its traffic information to calculate your Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) for each route. The traffic-based arrival times you get from Dash are more accurate, helping you decide which route is best for you. Even after you've selected a route, Dash even automatically alerts you when traffic conditions change significantly.

The cellular connection makes it work.

The Dash Driver Network and superior routing are major advantages, but they aren't the only elements that make the Dash traffic solution superior to that of other GPS devices. For Dash drivers, live traffic information is broadcast instantly over a high data-rate cellular 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.
