General information COMAND enables you to avoid areas you do not wish to drive through.
If you activate or deactivate a route block while route guidance is active, COMAND will cal-
culate a new route. If you activate or deactivate a route block while route guidance is inactive, COMAND will use the new setting for the next route guidance.
The calculated route may include an area to be avoided if:
R your destination is located in such an area.

Updating the digital map
Introduction The digital maps generated by the map soft-
ware become outdated in the same way as
conventional road maps. Optimal route guid-
ance 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 dig-
ital map updated there using a data medium, or you can update it yourself. Navigation functions
