I am looking for the capability to navigate through more than one destination using my 2018 Mustang Sync 3 NAV.
I usually have Google Maps do my navigation because I like/need to string several destinations into a route. I have used Android Auto to host the Google Maps and that works OK but it takes over the entire Sync display so that I cannot see what's going on with messages or the Sirius radio at the same time (like the Sync home screen). So I tried to see if there's the capability for Google Maps to send the planned route directly to my car's NAV (using Sync as the device). Apparently there was something called "Sync Destinations" that may have existed but is no longer in use? Also, Google Maps does have their "SendtoCar" feature that you can enable but apparently is doesn't work with Sync. It's only selectable for Audi, BMW, Genesis, Hyundai, Infiniti, Kia, Nissan, and Porsche.
I have also tried the FordPass "Find" function that will connect to the Sync but it is simply another way to upload a single destination - not several destinations together.
So, is anybody familiar with the alternatives or capabilities to upload NAV routes to the Sync 3 NAV?
