How to control navigation on back seat screens?

My 2015 S600 just came in and I'm excited driving/riding in it and attempting to figure out how everything works. I often travel with 4 adults, which is a big reason why I bought the S-class.

When I was in the backseat I can see how to change seat functions, change the radio, etc, but can't figure out how to interact with the navigation system from the back. When I push map all I see is what appears to be a static image of where we were when I pushed the button, then it changes view and then I see elevation for some reason. Considering I'm in Florida elevation isn't particularly useful. Anyway, if I want to enter an address, search for POI, change the current navigation, etc how do I do that from the back? All I could figure out was changing the remote to "command" and pointing it at the centers screen, which I can't see very well from the backseat.

All I see in the manual is how to display the compass

Look at page 273

You cant.... It is an over view of the trip in progress.... Similar to traveling on an airplane. Shows you route, destination time and location..... That's what I see....

So the only way to change it is to switch the remote to "command" and look at the main screen? That seems rather odd it doesn't let you enter an address or change the existing route. Why would they lock you out from it?

As far as I know, yes...... Rear passengers are just that .... Passengers riding in luxury.
