Your navigation system is comprised of two

Map Mode
Map mode shows advanced viewing
comprised of 2D city maps, 3D landmarks
and 3D city models (when available). 2D city
maps show detailed outlines of buildings,
visible land use, landscape features, and
detailed railroad infrastructure for the most
essential cities around the globe.
3D landmarks appear as clear, visible objects
that are typically recognizable and have a
certain tourism value.
3D city models are complete 3D models of
entire city areas including navigable roads,
parks, rivers and rendered buildings. 3D
landmarks and city models appear in 3D map
mode only. Coverage of these varies and
improves with updated map releases. Select the zoom in icon to see a
closer view of the map.
Select the zoom out icon to see a
farther away view of the map.
You can adjust the view in preset increments.
You can also pinch to zoom in or out of the
map.
The information bar tells you the names of
streets, cities or landmarks as you hover over
them with the crosshair curser.
You can change your view of the map by
tapping on the location indicator icon on the
right hand side of the screen. You can
choose from the following options: Heading up (2D map)
This always
shows the direction of forward
travel to be upward on the screen.
This view is available for map
scales up to
3 mi (5 km).

Enabling SYNC 3 Mobile Apps
In order to enable mobile apps, SYNC 3
requires user consent to send and receive
app authorization information and updates
using the data plan associated with the
connected device. The connected device sends data to Ford in
the United States. The information is
encrypted and includes your VIN, SYNC 3
module number, odometer, usage statistics
and debugging information. We retain this
data for only as long as necessary to provide
this service, troubleshoot, and improve
products and services and to offer you
products and services that may interest you
where allowed by law.
Note:
You must enable mobile apps for each
connected device the first time you select a
mobile app using the system.
Note: Ford reserves the right to limit
functionality or deactivate mobile apps at
any time.
Note: Standard data rates apply. Ford is not
responsible for any additional charges you
may receive from your service provider,
when your vehicle sends or receives data
through the connected device. This includes
any additional charges incurred due to
driving in areas when roaming out of a home
network.
You can enable and disable apps through
settings. See Settings (page 472).
