mrdave Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 (edited) I tried sending a location from Google Maps to my SYNC system today and noticed that "Ford" is no longer available as a selection under the "Send To: Car" options. I've used this feature since I purchased my vehicle over 1.5 yrs ago. Anyone know what happened or why it's been desabled?? edit: added attachment Edited August 8, 2012 by mrdave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatee Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 It must be a temporary glitch. I have never seen this happen before. I would use mapquest instead until google maps gets this straightened out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weezer Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 It’s not a glitch. Head over to Syncmyride.com forum and look for the topic “Google Maps no longer sends to SYNC”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdave Posted August 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Well there are still no reasons why, but Google confirmed it no longer will be available: Hi, Thank you for recently reporting a problem with the Send-to-Car feature for Ford or General Motors automobiles through Google Maps. We can confirm that the Send-to-Car feature is no longer available for Ford or GM vehicles, though it continues to be available for drivers of other makes. Cheers, The Google Maps team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinzII Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Now, I am very curious as to why. It would be something that would be very practical to have for our systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11Edge Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 How do you download the Mapquest directions if you don't have data service on your phone. I did it once before but I updated to 3.2 and the info got erased. I don't remember how I did it before. Phone call to Services? If so, what command?

Texasopa Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 How do you download the Mapquest directions if you don't have data service on your phone. I did it once before but I updated to 3.2 and the info got erased. I don't remember how I did it before. Phone call to Services? If so, what command? I push the sync voice button, and say services. It dials the phone and says you have received directions to XYZ, do you want to accept? (or something like that) Don't know if it will work without data?

ladybird4 Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 You push the voice button and say services. When you get to services say directions. At that point say web point or help and it will give you all the commands. You do not need any data plans to do this. all you need is a active sync account and a paired phone. Ford servired there ties with google about 6 to 8 month ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drpepper Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 And now google maps is back as an option on the iphone. Be nice if Ford would work with Google & bring back google send to sync as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
