Just a few months after its initial launch, the Dash Express has received its first over-the-air update from manufacturer Dash Navigation.

"Dash Navigation said owners of the Dash Express received an update via Wi-Fi to help drivers determine the best route option and to shorten the time it takes for the GPS unit to find satellite signals," writes TWICE's Amy Gilroy. "Dash said it was the first GPS provider to wirelessly update GPS devices in the field without requiring users purchase a DVD or install updates from a PC."

"The two-way global positioning system (GPS) device will now have a feature called MyRoute," writes VentureBeat's Dean Takahashi. "If you drive a regular route, such as to work, you can ask the device to memorize the route, which is then highlighted in pink on the device's map. The device can look at traffic data and decide whether your route is the best way to go on a particular day. Another cool feature of this update is the ability to make Yahoo Local search results more relevant to your particular commute. If you use the 'Search Along Route' query, the results will come back based on how close they are to your MyRoute."
