Telenav, Inc. announced that it will power the navigation experience of the recently revealed Ford SYNC® 3 infotainment system. SYNC® 3 users will gain access to a variety of new navigation and infotainment features made possible through Telenav's technologies. Key features include: Onebox Search: SYNC® 3 users will no longer be required to enter location details into multiple fields, such as street number, street name, city and state.

With the new Onebox search, drivers can simply enter addresses into a simplified search box, which also provides auto-complete and suggestion functionality for faster searches. Multi-Touch Maps: Transitioning from buttons to touch technology, users can now access map data by using zoom, pan, pinch and swipe motions, mimicking the familiar mobile interfaces that users are comfortable with. 3D City Models: With the updated user interface, SYNC® 3 users will be able to view 3D city models of buildings and major landmarks, creating an improved user experience ideal for travel.

In addition to the above new features, users will enjoy a simplified point of interest (POI) discovery experience, pulling this information together under common categories, instead of crowding the map in a given area with irrelevant search items. SYNC®3 users will also be able to update their software via Wi-Fi. And its modern design, drivers will have new Ford/Lincoln color schemes to further enhance their navigation experience.
