Summary: Why???
Comment: I don't understand why this is listed as "buy with" when all of the items are already included with the Dash Express... very deceptive marketing

Summary: An extraordinary product, with a few flaws...
Comment: I bought the DASH after seeing it featured on CNN and a review in USAToday. It's a great product but has a couple of flaws: 1) there aren't enough options for "making it your own", e.g., customizing several features that most GPS systems have. 2) it spontaneously reboots and there is simply never a good time for this to happen 3) it's *big*, and I guess that's because it is connected to WIFI and is essentially a small computer. I travel a lot and it's simply not that convenient to lug it around in your suitcase. The Garmin Nuvi series has it beat on its portability.
That being said, it's traffic monitoring is superb and the updating without having it connected to your computer is a godsend. This alone makes it always a fresh product. Finally, being able to send your directions to the unit from any computer is good for safety and convenience.
A great product with just a couple of flaws that I'm sure will be improved.

Summary: Dash Express Review
Comment: First off I want to state that I am not a paid employee of Dash nor have they paid me to make the following statements. I have however been allowed to test drive this device before the general public was able to purchase one.
After having my dash unit for almost 1 year now I can't imagine being without it. It allows me a direct connection to information on the internet as well as it is portable, and it has never let me down. The fact it will never be out of date like the other thousands of dollars worth in paperweights sitting on my shelf from Garmin, Tom Tom and Magellan is an added plus.
I have had numerous people in my travels stop me and talk to me about "that thing on my dash" almost every day. But for me that thing was more than a GPS...It's a dream come true. The conversation usually starts "Is that a GPS on your windshield?" I tell them that it is, but it is also the next level of the future of information delivery in their car and they need "Dash Express." I have even invited them to take a look at it first hand and show them the numerous bells and whistles like movie times, gas prices and the local weather and Weather Alert rss feed I created myself.. This usually gets them thinking of something they would like to spontaneously look up from the internet while out on the road. like the nearest (Starbucks) I just respond "With a Dash you are only limited to your imagination."
I can think of many times Dash has helped me while on the road but the following is an example of one of my favorite Dash moments that stands out.
For several years I have always kept a laptop in my car with me for emergencies and had a access card for the Internet. This was very difficult to use in the car, internet searches and responses were slow and these requests did not take into count my current location. And this was after waiting 10-20 minutes for it to start-up. Along comes Dash... I have always been impressed with the Internet search ability of "Yahoo local" and Dash, but on one particular day. My family and I were driving to dinner at a brand new restaurant in town . we had decided to leave around 4 to beat the dinner rush when we encountered a bad accident that had just happened right in front of us and were forced to stop on the Highway and wait for the emergency crews to clear the road. We had invited friends to join us and they were in a car right behind us. To make matters worse it was now 4:30pm on a Friday and we knew that by the time we got to the restaurant so would the rest of the working world and it would be at least another hour wait to get a table. My wife and I tried calling information on our cellphones to locate this new restaurant's number but since the restaurant was so new there was no listing yet. Just for giggles I checked Dash. typing in the restaurants name... Bam there it was and a phone # as well. I called the restaurant and made a reservation for 45 minutes from then. When we arrived there the line outside the door was huge. I heard several people complaining that the wait was going to be 2 hours. I walked up to the receptionist and said I am 5 minutes early , gave my name and asked if they were running on time with reservations. she replied "Right this way I have your table ready" THANKS DASH!!!
