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
