Navigation system
Hi everyone,
I just got my 2013 GLK250 a week ago and I'm absolutely in love with it. It's just about perfect, except...for Navi. For people who have navi, do you know if there's an option where my car can always be heading "up"? Currently, if I'm driving south, the arrow will be moving down and the highlighted route is going down on the screen. I'd like it more like Garmin/TomToms, where my position is always heading up, so its easier for me to figure out turns and whatnot. I've fiddled around with the navigation unit for a bit but can't seem to find that option so was wondering if its even available.
Thanks!

Yes there is a way to switch it... its annoying as it took me a while to figure it out on our C350, but now our GLK250 was already facing the right way.
If you cant figure it out, the dealership will do it for you.

Have you tried the 3d view v.s 2d view?
The manual mentions you can select the direction in 2d view.
Also there was a large update on the software a few months ago, not sure if 2014 already have it. You have to plug it into your PC anyway to confirm you have the latest maps

Bugal boy - there are two Navi's used in the GLK - you are describing the Becker Map Pilot used with the Audio 20 system and the better Navi is part of the Multi-Media option called COMAND

Does the new Command have 3D mode? In 3D you can see a lot farther ahead than in 2 D since the screen is wide but not tall. The 3D perspective stretches the view. You can only have heading up in 3D mode.
