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
the navigation system. These have their own
symbol and are filed in the
Apps category.
You can save the imported destinations and
routes as personal POIs and routes (
When importing routes, please note:
The Mercedes-Benz Apps may generate a
R
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.
The Mercedes-Benz Apps minimize the num-
R
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.
