Dash - the next big GPS thing

I've been hooked on the GPS in my car since back in 2000 when I bought it as a novelty. After using it for a little while I found that it was no longer a novelty - it was essential. In fact, sometimes I feel crippled if I'm driving a car without it.

So what's next in the GPS world? Dash. Funded by Sequioa, Kleiner-Perkins and several othe prominent VCs, and with a proven "A-List" executive team this company is likely to shake up the GPS market.

What's so different about Dash? Well, their product communicates both to and from the Internet. This allows you to upload your appointments and have the directions waiting for you when you get in your car. Or get real-time traffic information to avoid traffic jams (like the GPS in the Acura RL). Or use Yahoo local search to find a good restaurant.

The possibilities are endless - it's going to be fun to watch this segment evolve.
