Let Google SHO me where to go

[Ken Mallinson]

So at some point in the near future, the Taurus SHO's onboard computer will have the ability to talk to Google servers.

Ill tell you that its almost not necessary.. the Nav unit is fantastic and after I figured out how the traffic alerts work I love it..  I wonder how the Google will enhance it?  On the way to Carlisle the rode in the direction was yellow, which I found out it meant Slow traffic, there were areas of red where it stopped.. and there was an Icon of a flipped over car on the map where I was heading.. I thought it was cool as hell!

 

Its got to be better if they are going that direction, but just how much?

From the article:
"Drivers ... will soon be able to plot out their routes using Google
Maps on their home computer and then download turn-by-turn directions
directly to the car."

That's my understanding of the real bonus of it; the ability to plan out
your route ahead of time.
