COMAND 2.0 Question.
I think it is the comand 2.0. It's the navi for a 2003 w209 clk55 amg. Might be a dumb question. I live in NYC and let's say I am driving down to Florida, I need a different disc. Is it possible for me to set the destination to Florida and then use the current map for NYC then switch the disc when it runs out of map??? I tried many times and cant get it to work.

If you have a current disc set, the entire U.S, interstate system map is on each disc. In addition, major roads are mapped if within a mile or so of an exit. This lets you insert the disc for the destination region while you're at your starting point; enter the address of the destination; drive to within a mile of your closest interstate (where you'll start seeing mapping); and press on. If you stay overnight close to the interstate, you don't even need to change discs.
Do the reverse going back to the starting point.
The interstate feature was added with the 2003 or 2004 editions of the CD set, as I recall. If your discs are older, you need to update them anyway. I guarantee there have been changes to I-95 routing, especially around DC and in Northern Virginia.
If you decide to stick with an outdated disc set - set a destination that is near the edge of coverage for the disc for your starting region. Using the Mid-Atlantic disc driving to Florida, I used to set a small town in North Carolina that was along my route as my first destination. I'd pull off at a rest stop near that town, and put in the Southeast disc, and enter the final destination then. For a short while (maybe 5-10 miles) I would not have map features, but all I had to do was get back on the interstate and drive. As soon as i entered the disc's region, mapping would appear.
Believe me, updating the disc set is a much better way to go. About $260 or so from your dealer.
