Importing personal destinations and
routes via Mercedes-Benz Apps
You can import destinations and routes into the
navigation via the Mercedes-Benz apps. These
have their own symbol and are filed in the
Mercedes-Benz Apps
category.
Mercedes-Benz apps are, for example:
RDownload POI
RLocal Search
You can save the imported destinations and
routes as personal POIs and routes (
Ypage 67).
When importing routes, please note:
RThe Mercedes-Benz Apps may generate a
route based on a different map from the one
used by the multimedia system. Points on the
route may therefore be situated off the digital roads.
RThe Mercedes-Benz Apps minimize the num-
ber of route points offered.
For this reason an imported route com-
menced in the multimedia system may devi-
ate from the original route from the
Mercedes-Benz Apps.
