I love the Dash, let me count the ways...
1) It has internet access for live search results!
2) It helps me find the closest and cheapest gas available!
3) I can send it address info from my computer & cellphone!
4) It has real-time traffic info from state/national traffic databases!
5) It has real-time traffic info from other Dash users!
6) It has tons of custom "Dash Apps" and other custom searches that I can add from the Dash website!
Ok, so I think you can tell that I'm a Dash Evangelist... I love it! You will too. I've used it in Los Angeles, Chicago, Iowa, and soon Miami and Key West. Traveling with the Dash is so much easier than worrying about printing out directions and fumbling with paper maps.

The Dash Express is now a collector's item. Dash is getting out of the hardware business and going to try to get their software on other devices. Maybe Garmin or Magellan will buy them. I am sticking with my iPhone personally.

I have used GPS from Tom Tom, Navigon, and also Garmin. All those units have been though a lot of development, and it shows.
The dash express has not, and it really shows. While the traffic monitoring idea is a great concept, this unit has too many other shortcomings to tolerate.
Basically, most other features on a low end $120-150 gps are missing. A glaring one is planning preferences like avoiding highways, another one is avoiding toll roads, it gets worse from there. While the concept is super-innovative, I do have to question how much the developers of Dash spent using other GPS devices!
The text to speech is the worse I've come across, and the lack of choosing a voice or making adjustments is missing--this is such a basic feature I have to wonder if it was ignored or skipped over in desperation to get this device out of the door.
The last insult has to be a $12-13 dollar monthly fee to use the connected features. While I don't particularly care for $80 or so bucks to update
