To further build upon Ford's <a href="http://autoblog.com/tag/sync">SYNC</a> technology, the automaker will now be releasing a free mobile application called SYNC Destinations, available for iPhone, iPad and Android-based phones. (Don't worry, BlackBerry folk - your app is in the pipeline.)<br />
<br />
This app allows customers with the SYNC TDI (Traffic, Directions and Information) service to search for and save destinations to their individual cloud-based software for easy access back in the car. What's more, the app uses predictive traffic, powered by INRIX, which provides recommended departure times along with estimated travel times for commutes.<br />
<br />
Ford says that by using SYNC Destinations, TDI users will be able to better plan the "when and where" of their commutes, simply by using the INRIX features found within the app. Specifically, aids like traffic maps with real-time speed and accident information, traffic forecasts and easy look-up of addresses will make adding new destinations to the user's SYNC system easier than before, and more accessible while on the go (and not in the car).<br />
<br />
SYNC Destinations will make its official debut at <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/ces/">CES</a> in January. For the full details, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/12/30/ford-launches-sync-destinations-mobile-app/#continued">follow the jump</a> to read Ford's press release.<br />
