routes via Mercedes-Benz Apps
You can use Mercedes-Benz Apps (e. g. Down-
load POI, Local Search) to import destinations
to navigation (Y page 181). These have their
own symbol and are filed in the Mercedes-
Mercedes-
Benz Apps Benz Apps category.
You can save the imported destinations and
routes as personal POIs and routes
(Y page 98).
When importing routes, please note:
R The Mercedes-Benz Apps may generate a
route based on a different map from the
one used by COMAND. Points on the route
may therefore be situated off the digital
roads. For this reason an imported route
commenced in COMAND may deviate from the original route from the Mercedes-Benz
Apps.
R The Mercedes-Benz Apps minimize the
number of route points offered. For this
reason an imported route commenced in COMAND may deviate from the original
route from the Mercedes-Benz Apps. Selecting and editing personal POIs

Recording the route
General notes When recording the route, bear in mind the
following:
R if the SD memory card is inserted, it must
not removed during recording.
R if route recording is started manually, it
must be finished manually before COMAND is switched off (e .g. when the engine is
switched off).
R COMAND minimizes the number of route
points recorded. Therefore when the
recorded route is subsequently com-
menced, it may differ from the route that
was originally recorded.

General notes
For this reason, you must always observe
road and traffic rules and regulations during
your journey. Road and traffic rules and reg-
ulations always have priority over system
driving recommendations.
COMAND calculates the route to the destina- tion without taking account of the following,
for example:
R traffic lights
R stop and yield signs
R merging lanes
R parking or stopping in a no parking/no
stopping zone
R other road and traffic rules and regulations
R narrow bridges
COMAND may give differing navigation com-
mands if the actual street/traffic situation
does not correspond with the digital map's
data. For example, if the road layout or the
direction of a one-way street has been
changed.
For this reason, you must always observe
road and traffic rules and regulations during Route guidance

receives for the current route when calculat-
ing the route (Y page 80).
If you have selected Dynamic Traffic Dynamic Traffic
Route
Route as the route type, COMAND guides you
to your destination along the updated route. Storing destinations
General notes
If a route to a destination has been calculated,
COMAND saves the destination to the last
destinations memory. If the memory is full,
COMAND overwrites the oldest destination.
When you save the current vehicle position or a crosshair position, this position is stored in
the "Last destinations" memory.
You can save destinations permanently in the
address book and on an SD memory card. For instance, this is possible immediately after
entering an address. Storing destinations

Introduction
Always pay attention to traffic conditions.
Familiarize yourself with the address book
functions before beginning your journey.
You can use COMAND when the road and
traffic conditions permit. You could otherwise become involved in an accident in which you
or others could be injured.
The address book displays all the contacts
from the various sources (mobile phone,
memory card, USB device, COMAND phone
book, navigation).
You can use the contacts to make telephone
calls, navigate and to write messages.
If a mobile phone is connected to COMAND
and automatic calling up is activated
(Y page 167), the mobile phone's contacts
are displayed in the address book. If you dis-
connect the mobile phone from COMAND,
these contacts are no longer displayed in the address book.
When you import, save, edit or add contacts,they will be saved in COMAND. These con-
tacts will remain there even when you con-
nect COMAND to a different mobile phone. 162
