Dash Navigation Video
At Web 2.0 Rob Currie and Mark Williamson from Dash Navigation show off the Dash Express capabilities. They have had a 2,000 unit demo test going on for several months, and have some pretty intense stats to share as the users have logged over a million miles, and they are still driving with the unit on 80% of the time.
The impressive open source type applications that are available and that are to come may really make this an interesting ride. They demo Zillow, the real estate aware tool that ports to the Dash. Drive down a street and pull up Zillow's estimated values of the house; hit the button and pull up even more detail on the house itself. wow.
Search is a big part of the product, and they have teamed up with Yahoo Local search. Well apparently people are searching for ways to spend money and most often search for things at the Category level (i.e. Chinese food), at the store level (i.e. Starbucks), or at the product level (i.e. iPod). Their conclusion is that there is an ad supported search model out there. Huh; maybe Google will buy them.
Here's the video:
