I dont like this in my C-Class. When I search for an address by Garmin with Swivel wheel, I miss the logic. The wheel of the screen should rotate in the same direction. They do not. What is the Mercedes intention?

That is truly bizarre.

So this is your expectation that the screen will move in the same direction as the wheel.

In fact turning the wheel left means back and turning the wheel right/clockwise means forward. This moves backward or forward in the alphabet.

If the wheel moves the cursor would I accept what you say. But now I move the background (the alphabet) with the wheel.

When there are few Characters left and I look at the screen, it becomes even more illogical.

I have to think that I move the cursor although it is the background I move.
