Ford Service Delivery Network

Once in the vehicle, the driver connects to SYNC TDI through the voice command “Services.” Upon command, the SDN sends the designated route to the car and SYNC begins to provide audible and visual turn-by-turn directions.

Internet Mapping

Users visit the mapping site and plot directions to a specific destination.

Instead of printing the results, they will select the "Send" menu and choose to send the route to their vehicle, which begins the process of sending the mapped destination to their Ford, Lincoln or Mercury vehicle via the Ford Service Delivery Network.
