TeleNav Shotgun Web-Connected GPS Delivers Real-Time Traffic, Finds Cheap Gas for $300
Just as Dash—makers of the internet-connected, traffic-terminating GPS—is bailing out of the hardware game to sell its awesome software to other companies, TeleNav is officially doing the exact opposite: Jumping in with its first GPS device, which sounds a lot like the Dash Express (on paper, anyway). The internet-connected Telenav Shotgun delivers real-time traffic reports with intelligent re-routing, dynamic maps, automatic updates, web search, cheap gas locator and online pre-planning, which lets you plan your route on PC and shoot it over to the Shotgun automagically.

Dash To Can Its Hardware Biz, License Its Web-Connected Nav OS To Other Devices
We've always been fans of the Dash Express, with its real-time web-delivered traffic monitoring and its constantly evolving app platform. Somewhat sad news today is that Dash Navigation will be pulling out of the consumer hardware business entirely and cutting 50 jobs (two-thirds of its work force)—enabling them to move toward licensing their innovative software platform to other GPS nav makers, as well as to cellphones and MID platforms in the future. But in a lot of ways, the move makes perfect sense. More » -

Dash Express GPS Twitter App Tells Whole World Exactly Where You Are, With Google Map Goodness
The Dash Express GPS's API opened up about six weeks ago, and so far Dash says there've been dozens of apps developed since then, most of them in the truly useful category, like weather or speed traps. And then there's a Twitter client. Yes, the Dash will now tweet your exact location to everyone following you, along with a link to the address on Google maps. Okay, that's actually pretty sweet. Twitter: No longer just for telling the world when you're taking a dump. [Dash, Thanks Dave!] -

Dash Express GPS Updates Traffic Models, Software Update Coming
The Dash Express GPS just received its first historic traffic model update using the live Dash data gathered by users. That'll help predict traffic in areas where no Dash or other trusted data sources have been in the last 15 minutes. By end of month, a software update is coming with tweaks in performance, stability and routing. As for today's historic update, Dash recommends all users download the patch by Wi-Fi. Let's hope that more updates come often as this one, and with more features using that internet connection. -
question of the day
Do You Use Google Maps Mobile to Check Traffic Alongside Your GPS?
That blurry GPS shot above is of the Dash Express with its IP-enabled mesh network of traffic monitoring. But most of you don't have such tech in your GPS, you've got something else without live traffic data. For those of you who have GPS devices without live traffic, do you use a phone with Google Maps Traffic to check live road conditions as you navigate with your car's GPS? More » -

Dash Express GPS Full Drive Review: Total Traffic Terminator
We've been ranting about this internet-connected Dash Express GPS for months. Over the past week, we were given the opportunity to test it out for ourselves on both coasts, over a thousand miles, through intense city driving in SF and NY and road trips into the wilds. It's the real deal, delivering out of the box the most impressive real time traffic system we've ever seen, one that only will get better as each Dash user hit the road creating a swarm network of traffic avoiding drivers.

Dash Launches Express on Amazon, Drops Price to $400
These days, all but the most high-end (that is, overpriced) Garmin nuvis cost below $600, so it's great news that Dash—that fascinating experiment in "connected" GPS—has lowered the price of the Express from $600 to $400, and is selling them immediately on Amazon.com. If you pre-ordered, fear not: You will only be charged $400. Friends-and-family types who got devices early will be reimbursed the extra $200. If you want the instant traffic data, the wireless web searches and the periodic upgrades, you'll still have to pay that $10 to $13 subscription fee, but if you're a real cheapskate, you can let the free trial lapse and use it sans connectivity. Press release after the jump. [Amazon; Dash] More » -

The Secret to Dash GPS's Live Traffic Data: Networked Crowdsourcing
We're excited about the upcoming Dash Express GPS because it corrects so much of what's gone wrong with in-car navigation. In the end, you get the same green, yellow and red traffic indicators on highways that Google maps gets, plus that on some local roads. No other GPS has this. Because each unit is basically a two-way pager, it records the traffic you experience and shares it with others. It's a simple idea, perhaps, but to really harness the potentially unwieldy power of crowdsourcing, you need rules: More » -
