Where 2.0: Your Car Gets an API

Chris Butler, Dash

Your car gets an API (Your content in the car)

Dash is the first two-way internet connected device in your car. Normally provide crowd-sourced traffic but also Yahoo! search from in your car.

Last year we talked about getting GeoRSS and KML into the device. We delivered it in March.

Today we’re announcing Dynamic Search API. Anyone can create search APIs that can be used with your Dash. We also have 5 new partners:

WeatherBug - shows weather locally.
myFUNAMBOL - Calendar syncing service - can easily route to appointments.
BakTrax radio button gives a list of radio stations that you might be listening to, you can then select the station and find out the song they just player.
Trapstr - shows places where you might find speed cameras and suchlike. Shows them as you’re driving around but you can also upload them too.
Coldwell Banker - Property information
