More Dash Hype
The Wired folks are at the mapping block at Web 2.0. They explain the lastest goodies for the Internet-enabled Dash navigation system that’s been all talk for some months. The new stuff: integrating mashups/rss feeds.
Dash offers each of its users a personalized web page to manage what shows up on your Dash device. The duo demonstrated how you could run a Craigslist search for “open houses” in San Francisco, grab the RSS link for the search results, then paste it into your MyDash profile.
The next time you’re in your car, you’ll see an option to show those realtime search results in the device’s menu. Click on an open house you want to go see and Dash will show you how to get there.
Users can pull in any kind of mashup that uses geodata, as well. Grab the RSS feed from any geodata mashup—like a map of yoga studios in LA from Platial or a listing of jazz shows on Upcoming.org—and add it to your profile page.
