New Mapping on Nav System

I have a 2007 S550 and am waiting on my GL. I tried out the new mapping system provided through Yahoo and Google with the 550 and it works like a charm. Presently, it is only offered in the S and new C class cars. I wondered it anyone knows if they are going to extend it to other classes. It seems the nav systems and technology is the same and it would be a great plus to extend it to the other lines.

I am sure it will be offered in later editions of the COMAND but not until it includes a hard drive based system like the S, the CL and the new C. Perhaps an update in the 2009 model?

GL Fahrer may have some information on that system maybe.

i read somewhere (don't flame me, i will look to see if i can remember-it may have been latest STAR) that they are incorporating it as a running change in calendar 08...would be nice. I'd even retrofit a new COMAND...of course, that's a laugh, the word retrofit and MB
