More proof that Dash traffic is better
The Dash Driver Network and superior routing are major differentiators, but they aren't the only elements that make the Dash traffic solution superior to that of other GPS devices. For Dash drivers, live traffic information is broadcast instantly over a high data-rate cellular connection, rather than via a carousel on a one-way analog FM signal like some other “connected” devices. As a result of the two-way, “always-on” connection, the depth and breadth of information Dash can receive is far superior to most other GPS devices.
Up-to-date data
And Dash Express uses an on-board historical traffic model that covers 10x the number of road segments of any other product. Non-connected GPS devices get more out of date every day you own them. But each Dash Express receives monthly updates with the latest national historical model so you are always up-to-date.
Accuracy in numbers
The benefits of the Dash Driver Network begin working for you as soon as the second person in your area has a Dash device and improve with each additional Dash driver. In most cities only several hundred devices are required before the Dash Driver Network provides over half of the traffic data on major roads during normal commute hours. Even Los Angeles and New York only require a few thousand devices to reach that point. And remember, even without the Dash Driver Network you'll have the best historical database and calibrated third-party traffic data to get you going.
