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ware become outdated in the same way as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

music files, the tracks can be organized in
folders. A folder may also contain subfolders.
The disc may contain no more than eight
directory levels. Files beyond the eighth level
will not be recognized by the system.
i COMAND supports up to 50,000 files
from one data medium. For data media with
more than 64 GB, only files in the following
folders are supported: music, pictures, vid-
eos.
Track and file names When you create a disc with compressed
music files, you can assign names to the
tracks and folders.

directory itself, the root directory will also be
treated as a folder.
You should observe the following when
assigning track names:
R track names must have at least one char-
acter.
R track names must have the ending of a
supported audio/video format, e.g. mp3,
aac or m4v.
R there must be a dot between the track
name and the extension.
