Mercedes Introduces 'Send to Car' Maps For Google and Yahoo to S, CL and C Class
Google, Yahoo to direct your Mercedes
Posted by Candace Lombardi
Mercedes-Benz USA has an answer to complaints that car navigation directions don't measure up to those from sites like Yahoo, Google and Ask.
The automaker has partnered with Google and Yahoo to allow users to send customized Google Maps and Yahoo Local Maps directly from a computer or Web-enabled cell phone to their car computer.
A new "Send to Car" icon that will appear on both companies' mapping sites will allow you to send customized directions, maps, addresses and points of interest to your Mercedes' GPS navigation system.
Once you get in your car, pushing the "i" button in your Mercedes will download the information directly to your car's computer for either immediate or future use.
Better yet, other people can send directions to your car while you're driving.
The high-tech car tech is called Search and Send and will become part of the current Mercedes roadside and emergency GPS service, Tele Aide.
It will be available on the Mercedes S-class sedan and CL-class coupe as of September 5 and the entire 2008 C-class lineup.
Click link Search & Send . The Dog and Car video is cool.

Tele Aid & Search & Send in Canada ?
Does anyone know if the Tele Aid 'Search & Send" feature works in Canada ? - I could not find any mention of it on the web site. I have ordered the Tele Aid just so I can have the Search & Send feature, and if it turns out it doesn't even work in Canada it would be a waste, as I really would not want the Tele Aid feature otherwise !

Tele-Aid? Noooo....
<<teleaid is a waste of money... who here subscribes to that???? nobody....>>
Tele-Aid (same as OnStar) was standard in my '01 C320 and now it costs more than 800 bucks plus $270 each and every year with zero talk time.
I did not order it.
