New GPS provides escape hatch from traffic

Are you stuck in traffic all the time? Want a way out? And do you live in a major US metropolitan area?

The Dash GPS could be just your ticket out. It continuously measures road conditions where you are and transmits them back to a central server. So with a few hundred Dash devices often traversing similar routes, it has a comprehensive view of traffic speeds, from the worm's eye view on up.

This is far superior to other devices with traffic features, because the large number of Dash units already sold (at least in Dash friendly places like San Francisco and Los Angeles) mean far more sensor points, and far more accurate speed indicators than the old fashioned way relying on sensors built into only major roads.

An interesting review and experiences in the article.
