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 Mercedes-Benz
Appscategory.
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.
