Ford announced that its next-generation SYNC 3.0 application with traffic, directions, and information (TDI) is now available for early-launch 2010 Ford Mustang, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Lincoln MKZ, Mercury Milan, and Milan Hybrid vehicles.
TeleNav, the company behind AT&T and Sprint cell phone GPS navigation (and now a standalone unit), is powering the traffic system in Ford TDI. TeleNav PR manager Mary Beth Lowell said in a blog post that the new version of SYNC will offer personalized traffic reports, precise turn-by-turn driving directions, and up-to-date business listings, news, sports and weather information. Traffic conditions will also influence turn-by-turn directions--meaning that owners may hear different routes for the same trip at different times or on different days.
Ford SYNC lets drivers of equipped cars connect their cell phones viaBluetooth and control their in-car entertainment and navigation systemwith voice commands. Current owners of the aforementioned vehicles can visit www.syncmyride.com to download and install the latest application at home at no cost.
