How do you switch the Satnav off?
I mourn the passing of my old C Class Estate, eight years from purchase new. It was so simple to operate and with a decent Garmin stuck on the window did everything I wanted it to do. My new Premium Plus kit appears to have been designed by a teenage gamer who never left his bedroom. I don't see much improvement over the old car, although the Burmester is great. But how do you square all the complications with the recent controversy about driver distractions? A case of the Emperors New Clothes perhaps.
So can anyone suggest a simple way to turn off/cancel the Nav after I've got clear of the city and I'm on a recognisable route. I'd want to keep the radio playing.

I've already got the radio going and I want to turn off the Nav. When I had a Garmin I just slid the switch on the top and it was off. I don't want to have to dive into menus while on the move but even if I pull over can I somehow turn off?

Press the speech button and say "Guidance Instructions Off" or "Radio"
PS. Honestly it is ok to press a button on your dashboard whilst driving. Or just leave it running in the background, it is not like it is going to do anything other than ahem show you the way, or a map or whatever.

From Navigation screen:
Pull rotary controller back - menu appears at bottom of screen
Pull rotary controller right - "Destination" is highlighted
Push rotary controller down - "Cancel Route Guidance" is highlighted
Push rotary controller down.
You now have the option to cancel route guidance.
or:
Press Voice Command button on right-hand side of steering wheel.
After the activation ding, say "Cancel Route Guidance"
You will then be asked if you want to cancel so just say "Yes".
Hope this helps.

Has to be done whilst the nav voice is speaking though, otherwise you'll mute the radio.

Even simpler. When the Nav voice is speaking press down the volume roller in the centre console. That'll then mute it. I think that might also work if you press the mute button on the steering wheel.
