This news creates a question in my mind. I’m using a DashExpress now on a 120 day trial. So far, I love it.
The question is; where does that leave us as far as the continuation of the service?

Unfortunately, the Dash showed up at my home a week after I left and I did not get to use it until I returned. I was stuck using VZNavigator on my enVe phone. It worked and I’m glad I had at least that but it left a lot to be desired due to the small screen size. The turn-by-turn voice prompts in my BlueTooth headset were really all that I could use. The screen was too small to see anything useful.
