NAV

Is there a way to save a route that I mapped out on mapquest.com to my NAV in the car? Or save an address stored in my blackberry to my NAV so that I can map a route to it?

i believe the only way to do that is via MBRACE - you would need to get the MB app on your pda and then you can send addresses direclty to your navi

You can go to Map Quest map the route/ send to Nav/ once you get in your car simply hit the *!*button and the direction will download.

Yes, you need MBrace to do it. If you have MBrace, just use Google Maps. It supports most of the automakers such as GM, BMW, etc.

After you have entered an address, click on More, Send, Car, Mercedes Benz.

When you get into your car, press the MBrace button and it will download the address for you. You can give it a name when you save it to the Nav system.

As implemented on the 2011/2012 Mercedes in the US, Mbrace will allow you to send an address but NOT a route. Pretty useless in my opinion.

Once I have the address in my NAV system, the car can find the route. What I would like to see is the NAV allowing me to route several addresses in a single entry. Now I have to enter each address one at a time as I travel.
