Tele Aid Navigation feature

A new feature of downloading navigation destinations from your PC to your car using Tele Aid will be possible starting September 5th. The problem is that it is only available on the S, CL and new C class cars. This is because these cars use a HD to support their navigation system.

Bummer for GL owners but will probably be available sometime in the future when the GL gets a HD storage medium for the NAV system.

That sounds nice. Too bad it won't work with the GL's. Oh well, I guess we'll just have to enter in our destinations manually in the car.

Since MB seems to be in-tune with Apple, now offering iPod integration, the door may be open for an iNav. I certainly hope so. The seamless interface of the Mac brought to MB auto navigation would be great!
