Dash Express is the smartest, most Internet-connected navigation system on
the road. In fact, it's the first and only automotive navigation system with
two-way connectivity. Which means it gets you where you want to go-in the
fastest time possible-and delivers the most relevant information-right to
your dashboard. Plus, Dash Express is the only device on the market that
automatically and wirelessly updates its maps and software, so all you have
to do is drive.

With Dash Express you can:

*       Select from up to 3 routes for any destination based on accurate
travel time forecasts with Network Traffic

*       Find any place-nearby or near your destination-with Destination
<http://www.dash.net/product.php#destination-search> Search 

*       Send an address from any computer to your car with Send to Car
<http://www.dash.net/product.php#send-to-car>  


Network Traffic gets you there faster


*       Dash Express provides up to 3 routing options for every destination 

*       Each route is based on reliable travel time forecasts from: 


*       The network of Dash drivers who utilize two-way connectivity to
anonymously share their speeds and locations. 

*       Historical road segment data for every time and day of the year. 

*       Because it's connected, all of that data is constantly updated, so
if conditions worsen, Dash Express will automatically provide an alternate
route. 


The Dash difference


The competition provides just 1 route and gives you travel times based upon
incident data and static road classifications-rather than real traffic flow.
So, if the speed limit is 60 MPH on the highway, they'll assume it always
takes 10 minutes to go 10 miles. Yeah, right!


Destination Search finds exactly what you're looking for


*       Find locations and products using the power of the Internet. 

*       Dash Express delivers the most relevant results based on your
current location or your ultimate destination. 

*       Select a result, hit GO, then choose the fastest route there. 


Dash in action


You're hungry and in downtown San Diego. Type in "fajitas" and Dash will
give you a listing of nearby restaurants, all serving fajitas-even if
"fajitas" isn't in the name. Hit GO and Dash Express will direct you there.
Hunger crisis averted.


Send to Car delivers the addresses you need to you dashboard


*       Send an address from an Internet browser or Microsoft Outlook
directly to your car. 

*       It's the fastest, simplest way to enter addresses-no typing
required. 

*       Use Send to Car yourself or when you're on the road, have someone
else do it for you. 


Dash to the rescue


The sales prospect you've been hounding for months just called and said he'd
see you...today. But you're on the road with no time to spare. Simply call
your office and have the address sent directly to your car. Better start
working on that sales pitch.
