srogers Report post Posted May 23, 2013 I've used the Mapquest web site to send a destination to SYNC and I've also used the SYNC Destinations app on my iPhone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neod192 Report post Posted May 23, 2013 If you have an Android phone download the Send to car app. You can use Google Maps to search for a place and sent it to SYNC Services. After you send it, go to the car, hit the voice button and say Services. It'll ask you if you want to download the directions. You don't actually use the sync.ford.com website, just SYNC Services through other websites. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

neod192 Report post Posted May 24, 2013 The beauty of this is that you can enter an address as a destination to the Nav system while the car is moving. The Nav system won't let you enter an address, just select one from favorites or a POI - this way you can look something up on Google Maps and get directions on the "big" screen. You might want to let the passenger do this for safety reasons :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

neod192 Report post Posted May 24, 2013 I haven't tried entering an address using the voice. Even if I tried, it wouldn't understand me correctly anyway :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
acdii Report post Posted May 24, 2013 Yes you can, done it a few times. press the voice button, say nav, and destination, and give the address. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rico567 Report post Posted May 25, 2013 What does it cost for the connectivity to be able to do this? Or is it done through the Bluetooth to a cell phone? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
acdii Report post Posted May 25, 2013 It uses your phone to dial out and download the directions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rjent Report post Posted May 25, 2013 I tried this yesterday. Meh, just like Grysql said, the nav system routes you it's way. So don't bother setting up a route. You do have some control in the nav system, but I am still not impressed. Again, it does work .... :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
