Importing personal POIs and routes
via Mercedes-Benz Apps
You can use Mercedes-Benz Apps (e.g. Down-

tion system. These have their own symbol and
are filed in theMercedes-Benz Apps
category.
You can save the imported destinations and
routes as personal POIs and routes (
Ypage 68).
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.
