Dash GPS pricing

I just noticed that, in this video clip, Dash's CEO discusses how much the Dash Express GPS will cost ($600-800) and the price of service ($10-15 per month). The first 3-6 months will be free. I don't know if that per month charge is on top of your carrier's data plan, or if the unit will have its own service. I'm assuming the former.

Fitness product enhancements slated for our fitness line and better penetration of targeted fitness markets will drive revenue growth as well. Let's take a closer look at those cryptic statements: New outdoor products with enhanced features, high sensitivity GPS receivers (and) expandable memory - Maybe we'll finally see an eTrex line with SiRFstar III chips. As far as expandable memory goes, it's already in the eTrex and GPSMap x-serie. This either means a new product line, or perhaps an Edge series (for bikes) with maps, or Forerunners with MP3 players. As far as enhanced features, look for aerial photos or XM Weather. New outdoor products with...unique functionality, like our recently announced dog-tracker product, the Astro. - Hmm, this one is the wild card. I fully expect Garmin to enter the pet-tracking market at some point, but not with...

Garmin StreetPilot c580 review UPDATE: Most of the several generations old StreetPilot series, including this model, has been discontinued. For a more current recommendation, check out our Auto GPS buyers guide or go straight to our Garmin nuvi comparison chart. The Garmin StreetPilot c580 is the new flagship model in the StreetPilot line. It is nearly identical to the c550, except that it adds MSN Direct services (see coverage area), which it receives via FM radio signal. MSN Direct offers weather, movie times, gas prices and live traffic. This also means that the source of traffic data is different than that of the c550, which receives TMC data. The first year is free; after that, MSN Direct service is $49.95 per year or $129.95 for the lifetime of the device.
