#Sync destinations mobile app download#

If you have a smartphone, you can download the Sync Destinations app and use it to send the directions to your 'Max almost instantly instead.

If you have a dumbphone, sending the directions takes a while because it's actually using an old-school dial-up modem in your C-Max over your cell phone connection. Your C-Max then gives you turn by turn voice and onscreen text guided nav to the destination, and the destination is saved to a list you can pull up again in your C-Max as desired. I hate that since the last MFT update, that's become impossible (at least, in car) (but probably though MapQuest too) (though I won't really know until I try).ДЄs long as you pony up the $$ every year to maintain your Sync account, you can do this to send directions even to a non-nav-equipped, non-touchscreen C-Max. What I haven't done yet (but keep meaning to do) is see if I can use that feature to save to the car's Favorites and use names that contain lowercase letters. That's all I have to do, and the car will (in a few seconds) respond, 'New address received would you like to set this as your destination?' When I say, 'Yes,' the car just imports the address, but then it calculates the route, which may or may not be the same as the route MapQuest would've chosen. When I get in the car later, I can easily pull the Voice trigger and say, 'Services.' That's it. If, for example, I know now, at my desk, that I'm going out to dinner tonight with some friends at a restaurant I've never been to, I might have the foresight to search MapQuest right now for that restaurant's address. Now that you realize that, you might now understand the appeal, but if not, for me, the appeal is much quicker entry. Just to clarify, instructions are not what's being sent. The destination is saved in the Destinations menu item, or to Favorites if you touched the 'Save To Favorites' screen menu item. It will automatically disconnect the call.Д§. Do not end the call until it announces the route download is complete and 'You may now use your phone'. Sending.' (Saying No will result in the destination not being loaded into the Navigation system.)Д¦. MapQuest has sent you the map point in (town then name assigned)', and ask if you'd like directions to destination. SYNC will say 'Connecting', then 'Services. When SYNC is on and sync'd to your phone, pull the Voice icon paddle on your steering wheel and say 'Services'.ДҐ. After receiving notification in your browser that the location was successfully sent, take your cell phone, with it on, to your car and either start it or enter Accessory mode.

Only one Destination can be sent and Sync'd at a time.Д¤. Then select 'SNYC' and enter the active mobile phone number for your SYNC Owner account and add a name for your designation if you wish. Send is in the upper right corner of the MapQuest webpage.ДЈ. Use the MapQuestВ® website to locate a business or address you wish to send to the Navigation system. I'll combine them and add my edits to make them actually understandable to the novice:ДЎ. Of course they had to be cute about it and put into six steps and six clicks to read them one by one (okay, there is a button at the bottom to see them all at once.). If anyone has anything to add or correct to this please do.ДЇirst I did a search, and found all the gripping about Ford dropping Google Maps (yeah! why use the best?), but eventually found Fords instructions for this process. Since I went through a little learning curve in doing this, I thought I would pass on my findings so others will have it easier.

Now that my GPS is working properly thanks to the module replacement, I thought I would look into the feature that allows locations found via MapQuest to be sent to the Navigation system via the SYNC feature.
