Wasn't this the whole point of Dash Navigation? I love how old companies can totally obliterate new startups' differentiation with a quick, single stroke. Now, Google Maps needs to be better integrated with turn-by-turn directions (like Dash was) to make this a real killer.
- ynniv 17y agoI was just commenting on that with a friend. Poor Dash, all that VC and no customers. Mixing hardware into your startup isn't easy and brings an extra level of risk. Dash never struck me a particularly good Navigation Device, tho. Would you buy a top notch navigation device with traditional traffic reporting, or a second rate one with fancy traffic that only works in a few cities? When you go to reinvent a market, realize that your goals are to 1) do everything that your competitors do 2) do some things better Just solving for (2) won't help you win.
