Importing personal destinations and
routes via Mercedes-Benz Apps
You can use Mercedes-Benz Apps (e. g. Down-
load POI, Local Search) to import destinations
to navigation (
Ypage 185). 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 102).
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 reduce the num-
ber of route points offered. For this reason
an imported route commenced in
COMAND may deviate from the original
route from the Mercedes-Benz Apps.
