Thanks for all your comments so far! As you can probably imagine, we're having a pretty exciting day today.

@MarshallB: We use solid and dotted lines to indicate how confident we are in the traffic data at that moment in time. As more drivers join the Dash Driver Network, more and more of the data will be solid lines.

@mlonidot: We certainly have plenty of algorithms and quite a few traffic PhDs dedicated to analyzing traffic and identifying outliers. Remember that there are almost always routing alternatives, and Dash provides up to three routes for each destination.

@frigg: Privacy is a big concern for us, so no identifying information at all. We strip out the device information associated with traffic before it hits our servers, so we couldn't track you even if we wanted to.

I know it's allegedly illegal in CA. I went to the the dash bean bag due to my Nuvi's really bad suction cup mount.

This traffic feature should be free with all GPS units but Garmin charges extra for the antenna and the service is about $10 a month.

If Blam gives these out to his entire stable of bloggers, with a little help from Nate True will he be able to secretly monitor their driving around positions in real time from the cockpit of the Giz jet?

Brian Lam has just joined the ultra-exclusive group, in all liklihood comprised of only the mythbusters and the Top Gear lads, of dudes with The Greatest Job in the Universe.

Sure, you may have been up for the past 20 hours because of this review, but come on!! "Aww, I have to drive 1000 miles to test out a new uber-nav system. What a terrible life I lead. Oh yeah, remind me to comp myself for the travel expense when I can be bothered to get back to the office. Cheers!"

Frankly, sir, I don't feel the least bit sorry for you. No but seriously, thanks for the vid. I'll be picking this puppy up as soon as it hits the shelves.

If you have the most awesome traffic enabled GPS sitting on your dash, why would you hang out on a slow street for long enough to generate meaningful data?

I think there will always be a deficiency of good information on slow roads and much better information on fast roads.

It they look at the fastest speed within a certain time then that could over write some slow people. Or they could provide a confidence level based on the number of data points.

Some people drive faster than others, regardless of trafic, as in this video Brian Lam said on one stretch he just drove slow because he was busy. so he transmitted that back as a slow stretch of road even if it wasn't....as this happens with a lot of people...won't all the data just average out and revert back to distance, shortest distance between two point?

It's cool that you celebrated Gizmodians get to play with it early, but the real coolness will kick in when we get lots of folks out on the road with these sharing more data!

I'll be keeping an eye on this product.
