Ford's been keeping itself busy (http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/05/ford-shows-off-sirius-travel-link-real-time-data-for-your-navi/) on the navigation front (http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/2009-ford-f-150-to-get-sirius-travel-link/), and while you may have noticed that 2010 just began a few weeks ago (on the Gregorian calendar, anyway), 2011 model year vehicles are already on the minds of those in Dearborn. 2011 models with voice-activated navigation systems will be getting an update that brings along HOV logic, helping users who travel with a buddy to get from point A to point B more hastily if carpool lanes are nearby. Of course, only 2,500 miles of those blanket America, so a few other updates might be intriguing to those of you who are sane enough to live outside of the rat race. Branded POI icons, higher density street labeling and HD Radio will come standard on voice-controlled NAV systems, and potentially most interesting is the notion that "integration with SYNC Traffic, Directions and Information (http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/sync-adds-turn-by-turn-traffic-reports-for-some-2010-fords/) (TDI) app -- enabling new features like the ability to download destinations sent from a home or work computer from Mapquest" -- will hit later on in the year. Full release is after the break.Continue reading Ford adding HOV logic, ability to download outside Mapquest destinations to 2011 NAV systems (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/ford-adding-hov-logic-ability-to-download-outside-mapquest-dest/)
