Smartphone user? Regardless of platform you have no shortage of
navigation options, and now Ford has added another way to get where
you're going -- if you're also an owner of a SYNC TDI-compatible car,
anyway. Using the new SYNC Destinations app (available today for iOS
and Android, with BlackBerry coming soon) you can more efficiently pre-
plan your route. The app lets you pick a destination, view real-time
traffic updates, even check out congestion predictions based on
weather, time of day, and holidays. It's a feature that would have
been pretty handy last week when we were simultaneously dealing with a
heck of a blizzard and a whole lot of people trying to flee their in-
laws.
The app will even suggest what time you should leave to avoid the most
headaches, a potential boon for those desperately seeking any excuse
to hit the road a little early. It is, however, just for planning,
sending your route to the car and then disabling the phone's display
when you cross the magic 5mph threshold. It's safer that way, after
all. Full details are in the PR below and if you're on the lucky two
supported platforms with a suitably compatible car you can download
today for free.
