“the navigation screen offered a crisp, easily readable image. Think Apple Maps but more refined.” “The navigation prompts were a bit of a wonder”
“The Ford SYNC® 3 Infotainment System is a primary contributor to Ford Motor Company’s strong performance”
“CUE’s most noticeable graphic gains are to its navigation system, which adopts a map display that’s similar in style to Apple Maps. Clean and concise, the display benefits from a touchscreen that’s more forgiving to slightly mis-aimed touch inputs and responds more promptly than did its predecessor.”
“As for infotainment tech, systems with either a seven- or eight-inch screen are available. The latter, which is unimaginatively called “GMC Infotainment System 8-Inch,” is standard in Denali models. Luckily for this automaker, a clunky name can’t sink a good product as this is one of the best infotainment systems available today. Fast and fluid, it responds instantly to finger inputs. The user interface is elegant and easy to use, plus it supports multitouch gestures, like pinch-to-zoom, so it’s incredibly intuitive.”
“The new user interface is snappy and attractive, the navigation map takes almost no time to render, and a new user-based system allows for a massive amount of personalization, down to suggested navigation route”
“Sync 3 gives me a reason to want to drive Ford cars again” “streamlined destination input”
“shows the value in the "less is more" strategy of interface design…Nowhere is this philosophy more apparent than Sync 3's navigation.”
“The navigation feature that was the most impressive—and is most like the mobile experience found on phones and tablets—is destination entry.”
