"We evaluated several different providers to supply the baseline traffic information for the Dash Service and selected NAVTEQ for their depth of data and broad coverage footprint." Dash Express customers will be able to access NAVTEQ's live traffic data on their devices and receive continuously updated real-time traffic information in more than 75 cities across the U.S., including visual notification of congestion that allows drivers to see potential traffic delays and avoid traffic problems.
