Probably rather poorly unless it has a knob to set for barometric pressure. And it doesn't.

i found mine in my 9/08 build 2009 C350
exact location for me was 7.7.10. for those who are having a hard time finding it, remember to scroll down to the next page, you cant just turn the knob, you have to actually move the entire knob down to get to the next page. :) as for the elevation, mine does not read in 1000 increments. in fact, it says im 20 ft above see level, and so far is on a lower scale. im guessing once you reach a certain altitude, it switches scales |

Not Yet for me, but I can copy and rip - until I get the update.

Well Toronto is only 100 Metres ASL. Mine changes in increments of 50 metres at a time.

These last two pictures are of a side view camera option. Can someone please research this option and figure out what it does?
Also please let me know what you think! There is a side view camera option in Japan. |

Could you expand on this? Don't know much about how the nav works but am amazed everytime I use it.

Mine is also grayed out 7.7.10. How do you all get an update at the dealer? When I called them to do an oil change and asked them about Nav/audio update they look at me like "What are you talking about" and did you get a letter in the mail or something? So what key words do I use when talking to them? thanks.

It takes at least 3 satellites to provide a fix for a specific location on earth. This number indicates that the GPS system in the vehicle is "seeing" 8 of them which would provide great accuracy on your location.

actually the altitude isnt very accurate. for one, it doesnt change on an instant. if you drive up a hill, it doesnt increase and vice versa. and when i enter my garage, it shows different altitudes. i wonder what the refresh rate is.

Mine sometimes says 12 satellites but still i have never noticed a reading on the altitude meter. Its always 0.
I should be below sea level . Amsterdam here . I get the readings in Meters. and it always says 0 meters even if i go uphill like a bridge or something or a small fly over. |

And as you already know, you can update your NAV software yourself by buying the latest release of the NAV software on DVD from your dealer or from Navteq direct (http://www.navteq.com/). |
