As you may already know the first two way internet connected Dash Express comes with a service plan (optional). This connectivity is mostly via cellular networks, and Dash’s partner for providing this server is Jasper Wireless. Jasper is an aggregator and can provide coverage over a variety of networks. Now it is important to understand you’ll still be able to navigate anywhere even if the whole network is down – because the maps are stored on the device and GPS signals come from outer space, not Jasper.

The GPRS coverage is there to give you traffic information from the Dash Driver Network, Yahoo local search, map updates, software updates, gas prices, movie times, and the ability to send addresses from your PC to your Dash.

Each device comes with a free 3 month trial period. To subscribe, for more you’ll have these options:

• Purchase a 2-year prepaid plan for the equivalent of $9.99 a month
• Purchase a 1-year prepaid plan for $10.99 a month
• Purchase a month-to-month plan for the rate of $12.99 a month
• Purchase a bundle of the first year of service (9 months on top of the 3 free months) plus the Dash hardware for a total of $499.99 exclusively through Dash.net
