    Dash

    The opportunities this opens up to both the Geo community and also Joe Public is quite huge. Enter GeoRSS. Your time to shine has arrived :)

    Many websites have geo-relevant content – including, but not limited to, Google Maps, Yelp, Craigslist, Trulia, Gruvr, and many more. Just check the source of the feed to see if there is a latitude/longitude provided for each item in the feed, and if so, the odds are good that it will work as a MyFeed on MyDash.

    Hopefully this will continue across the PND market. *fingers crossed* The only downer (apart from the price) ?

    It will not work in Canada, Mexico, Europe or any location outside the United States

    :(
