as conventional road maps. Optimal route
guidance can only be provided by
the navigation system in conjunction with the
most up-to-date map software.
Information about new versions of the digital
map can be obtained from an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center. You can have the
digital map updated there using a data
medium, or you can update it yourself. Navigation functions
