Navigation Use
Vehicle 2000 S430 with COMAND Navigation (US version)
Is it possible to program a trip crossing state lines (i.e. requiring multiple Navigation CD's) by making only one destination entry?
For example, I was in VA and wanted to drive to NYC using an alternate route other than route 95. I assumed I could enter my home address with the New England CD loaded, remove that CD and load the MidAtlantic CD and follow my route; And, at some point the system would tell me to change the CD from MidAtlantic to New England.
It didn't work that way. It seems that you have to know the last town or city on the CD you have loaded that is closest to the town or city that the next CD will recognize.
Anyone know how this works? Can you program a trip across state (CD) lines by entering your final destination and having the system prompt you when to change discs?
Thanks.

I wish. The Navigation system sucks on long trips crossing CD lines. Best you can do is pick out an intermediate point that is on both CDs and navigate to and from that point. Bring on the DVD system!
