Just recently, Clark spoke about Dash technology. This Internet-enabled GPS offers real-time traffic updates directly to the unit while you drive.

He bought the extremely expensive gadget ($399, plus a monthly fee of about $11) and it's already gone missing...his wife loves it so much that she's commandeered it for her vehicle. So is Dash worth the price of admission? Without a doubt -- especially if you travel a lot or frequently face unpredictable traffic.

Clark is amazed by Dash's capabilities. It will show you the speed of travel and traffic if an area is saturated with enough other Dash units. If not, then it's just a glorified, exorbitantly priced GPS unit that can't return that kind of robust data.

So far Clark's Dash has saved him time behind the wheel when there was bridge construction down in Florida.

There's also a novelty factor here. You can use Dash to find restaurants (along with user-generated reviews) when you're traveling in unfamiliar places. The Dash device can also be tracked if stolen, unlike most GPS units.

In related news, GPS units are now selling for as little as $69. You might want to consider a low-end brand to deter thieves from wanting to steal yours! Be sure to unplug your GPS from your cigarette lighter and put it under the seat when not in use. The cost of replacing a smashed window might be more than you pay for a cheap GPS.
