The California-based company is looking for 2,000 drivers to test out its Internet-connected Express GPS navigational device.
Dash Navigation announced that it is looking for 2,000 drivers to take the Dash Express on a road trip. The company claims that the Dash Express is "the first Internet-connected automotive GPS," and Dash will supply the device for free in exchange for testing the service and the hardware. Dash Navigation recently finished up a six-month field trial in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The Dash Express GPS device differs from traditional GPS devices as it receives traffic information from the Dash Driver Network, which consists of other Dash GPS receivers in the area. The Express also uses Yahoo Local search as a points of interest database to find people, places and services. The Dash Express allows you to send address from your computer directly to the GPS device in the car and offers automatic updates for features and software.
If you're interested in testing out the Dash Express, just apply online at www.dash.net and fill out a survey; you will receive an e-mail if you are one of the 2,000 drivers selected.
