Comand Navi question

My dad has a leased 2017 E400 W213 with Comand navigation.
Coming from a W212 also with Comand navigation he is asking if it is possible to have the new car display the next couple of exits when driving on the freeway as the W212 did.
In the W212 i believe it showed the 3 next exits and whether there was a gas station or a cafeteria among other things.
I have been looking though the settings, but could not find anything that worked.
I have found this photo on google which shows what I am after:


Does anyone know if it is possible to get this kind of display in the W213?

No. With the W213 you're just supposed to marvel at how pretty the display is and forget that the functionality and accuracy are extremely poor.

I never had that function on my 2014 w212, would have been nice. Certainly not available on w213 despite the acres of screen real estate. Lazy programming by MB IMO.

Nope! Hard to believe isn't it? While that isn't available on my $ 73,000 car, it is on my 2016 Toyota Tacoma and was on the three Toyotas before that. Sad situation, very sad. We travel with a Garmen now.

We've also had the left right issues another poster mentioned many times.

It's hard to believe in this day and age, a NAVS system could be this bad. There have been many posts on the subject since the vehicle came out.

Wow, that is actually pretty stupid, even my Mazda Miata has this feature.
Hopefully Mercedes will consider adding the feature in an update at some point.
