How can I add a name/label to any address I store as a favorite in my navigation system? For example, I know how to add the address for Home Depot as a favorite but I can’t figure out how to call it “Home Depot” so I know what that particular address is for.

Thanks for any help!

 

Go to the favorites menu, press on the favorite that you want to rename and keep pressing until OPTIONS appears. Press OPTIONS and you will see rename. Did it this afternoon so I know it works.

 

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, that doesn't work for me. When I go to Options the only option shown is Delete.

I have a 2021 E-450. Are you in a 2021 E class? This is my first Mercedes so I'm not familiar with previous models but I know many aspects of the tech changed with the 2021 models. I don't understand why they would eliminate the Rename option because without it the favorites feature is useless.

 

I'll let you know in two months when I get my new wagon.

 

I have a 2021 E. My mistake above, thought you were referring to the system favorites as opposed to the phone favorites. As far as I know, you can’t change the name of a favorite in the phone favorites. Sorry for the confusion.

 

Actually I'm referring to Navigation favorites (not system or phone). With Navigation favorites I can store destination addresses but it seems that I can not attach a name to each address. What I wind up with is a list addresses but no indication of who each address is for - which makes the whole thing kind of useless.

 

Not a 2021 model year owner, but could you use Mercedes Me Connect / Send 2 Benz on your cell phone as a work-around? After entering the address, doesn't it allow you to "add a nickname'? On the COMAND system you could save this.

 

Thanks for the idea! I tried it but it did not give me an option to add a nickname.

 

I don't believe that you can do what you are trying to do. An alternative that you can try is searching for your Home Depot via the POI search or Mercedes Me Connect and SENDTOBENZ function. That should list the name with the address. Try saving that as a favorite and it should work. Also, saving an entry from you phone's address book saves it with the name it is stored under.

 

Then we have another curious MB deletion. You should have the latest Mrcedes-me-Connect. On the older version of MBrace it looks like this.

 

I was using Home Depot only as an example. But I did send it from my phone to the car. The address was sent but no name.

 

I have the current version of two different Mercedes apps on my Android phone. "Mercedes me Connect" and "Mercedes me." When I send an address from my phone to the car there is no option to "give this address a nickname." That is the exact option I'm looking for but it does not exist on my phone or in my car.

Apparently that feature used to exist and may currently exist on other Mercedes models but there is no sign of it on my 2021 E-450. It's hard to imagine that Mercedes would intentionally remove that feature so it's possible it's a software bug.
