NAVIGATION QUESTION
I must have a brain fart because for the life of me I can't figure out how to save and name a destination for future recall. On my 2016 C300, I was able to save a destination and give it a name (example; ikea or bestbuy, etc.) and I was able to categorize them as shopping. On my new GLE, it only gives me the option to save as work, home and as favorite but does not give me the option to give it a name.
Thanks in advance for everyone helping in my state of confusion.

Took ex-lax so gas went away and found the answer to my own question.
Basically for those who want to know, you have to go to favorites (press star button on console) then see your favorites there, tap and hold then option to rename comes up. Hope this helps.

Here's another navigation question. I just got my GLE580 2 days ago and while loading some of my navigation favorites, I ran into a problem concerning the number of favorites that can be saved. After inputting about 15 of them I received a message that I had reached the maximum and if I wanted to save more I would have to delete one that I already saved. On my 2013 ML550 I seemed to have the ability of saving an unlimited number of favorites. I believe that I had stored at least 75. Am I doing something wrong or is there a way to save more favorites that I am just not aware of?

Agreed, I often have the navigation on in the background even to destinations that I know how to get there, but so that I get rerouted if there is unusual traffic or at least see how many minutes of delays are on the route. I've never found a need to store my regular destinations as favorites, though. The POI search is so good that simply using voice to start navigation to a place by name is quicker and more convenient than going through my favorites, or often the destination is still in my last destination list, so I can quickly select it from there. I have about 5 favorites setup, but those are functions that I use relatively frequently like the 360 camera and they all fit on one screen, so they are true shortcuts that don't require scrolling through a list of 20 favorites over multiple screens.

I had many favorites loaded in my 2013 and I had them organized by area after I re-named them. For instance, when we vacationed in Florida, I had them listed as "FLA - Carrabba's" etc. That made finding the favorites in the area of interest much easier. I also had favorites listed from other areas in the same manner. It was my way of organizing them. Since the favorite folder was listed in alphabetical order, it worked well for me. The 2020 system does not seem to be set up with the same capabilities. To me, it's a step backwards but I'll just have to work around it.
