Importing personal POIs and routes
via Mercedes-Benz Apps
You can use Mercedes-Benz Apps (e.g. Down-
load POI, Local Search) to import destinations
to the navigation system. These have their
own symbol and are filed in the Mercedes-
Benz Appscategory.
You can save the imported destinations and
routes as personal POIs and routes
(
Ypage 84).
When importing routes, please note:
RThe 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.
RThe Mercedes-Benz Apps minimize the
number of route points offered. For this
reason an imported route commenced in
