Issues with Comand Navigation in UK
Also it's not very clever with the routes. Sometimes it's quicker to take the motorway to a destination, but it takes me along roads, and I've got it set to use motorway and fast route. I even had an instance when I was on the motorway and it directed me to take the next exit only to go over the round about and get back on the same motorway again!
Another annoying this is why is there so much distance between the types of view on the display? The map can either be set to too close or too far. Why nothing in the middle?
And I don't know if I'm missing something, but I can't turn off the sat nav audio at all. I've gone through all the buried menus and found nothing.
Has anyone else experienced any of these issues? Could anyone advise how to fix any of these?
Ps sorry or the negativity, I do love the car overall. But my BMW sat nav from 8 years ago was better and more accurate.
To mute instruction press the mute button on steering wheel while an announcement is being spoken.
You can alter the display distance by turning the controller knob.

Give me Google Maps any day.
The turn left instruction for all roundabouts is ridiculous, I have approached a few and kept left because of it only to realise when seeing the sign I actually need to now cross up to 3 lanes and be on the right, no sat nav I have used before deals with them like this.
The turn left thing is because it doesn't recognise large roundabouts like motorway junctions as roundabouts. I got so pissed off with it, I went back to using my actual TomTom unit in the car. The Mercedes one is really poor software, that doesn't make best use of the screen space at all. The fact it doesn't even have a graphic to show the next turning and how far away is it is nonsensical, given every portable satnav unit does that.

I thought exactly the same thing very confusing if SWMBO is driving she's gets all flustered
Also sometimes when it says prepare to turn left on right and there's still 3 or 4 junctions in front of it
Good post

I'm still getting used to satellite navigation in my C250. But it's frustrating the hell out of me. First of all, what the hell is a left half? Any roundabout exit, the system told me to take a "left half". Why can not he just say take the 3rd exit. Sometimes, he said, even prepare to turn left at the half approach, to realize that this is the last exit off the roundabout. In addition, it is not very skilled with the roads. Sometimes it's faster to take the highway to a destination, but it takes me along the roads, and I set to use the highway and the highway. I even had a case where I was on the highway and he directed me to take the next exit than to go to the roundabout and back on the same highway again! Another boring which is why it is so distance between the types to see on the screen? The card can be set to a too close or too far. Why nothing in the middle? And I do not know if I'm missing something, but I can not turn satellite navigation audio at all. I went through all the buried and found nothing menus. Has anyone experienced any of these questions? Could someone tell how to solve one of these? Ps sorry or negativity, I do not like the overall car. But my satellite navigation BMW from eight years was better and more accurate.
