[...] Dash is going to keep the Express back end running for existing owners, but no word on for how long; because these devices hold almost zero local data, once the service goes you will have yourself a nav that can’t do much more than direct address routing. Dash friends, care to let us know how long we have? [GigaOM] [...]

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?
I recently returned from a 2 month deployment as a FEMA Disaster Inspector in Louisiana & Texas. 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.

I almost bought 2 weeks ago, but after reading about bugs still happening to new buyers, I bought Garmin 200W as stopgap until web-connected GPS matures a bit. The idea is right, just needs evolving a bit more. I’m glad I waited, as suport for yesterday’s hardware is likely to suffer.
