What do breadcrumbs and the Ford Ranger have to do with each other?

Think about how you would track an animal in the woods to safety – or to trap them for game. You have to lead them to a place of your choosing. Most people would leave a trail of breadcrumbs to that location. The animal would pick up these breadcrumbs along the trail until they reach the end of the trail.

Ford took that same idea and applied it to their navigation systems. Here is how:

You are driving your Ford Ranger into the woods to meet the animal you set the trail for. Yet, the road you are driving on is unmarked. What the Ranger’s navigation will do is to lay down “breadcrumbs” via the GPS system tied to SYNC3’s navigation system to mark your trail.

The navigation system will remember this information on the screen. When you have to return back to the marked road, you have to follow the digital breadcrumbs back the way you came. All you have to do is to enable the Breadcrumbs through your SYNC3 navigation system for this to work.

This feature is only available on SYNC3 equipped Ford Rangers with on-board navigation.

Now you can find your way home in a new Ford Ranger from Benna Ford. We have an inventory of the Ranger ready for test drives. We’ll leave a trail of breadcrumbs to the one you will take home today!
