The current traffic report system used by Microsoft on maps.live.com can’t tell you much about traffic on city streets. They only have highways (just like Yahoo or Google, to be fair) and therefore the system isn’t of much help for something other than “should I hit that road now?” or “how bad is it going to be”?.

Dash delivers traffic and destination information in exciting new ways, and offers a wide range of new capabilities available from the car that makes a typical GPS practically obsolete. Dash is the smartest way to get from A to B, and find everything in between. Most portable GPS devices offer only a single route to your destination. Dash presents up to three different routes, provides the distance to your destination, and uses real traffic information to calculate travel times for each route. Even after you’ve selected a route, Dash automatically alerts you if traffic conditions change significantly.
