New Tele Aid NAV feature

Allows downloading of destinations selected from Google or Yahoo map site on your PC. S, CL and new C have this free feature because of the HD being used for the navigation system.

This is one of the coolest features of the car IMO, of course next to Distronic II, ABC, or Night Vision.

Search & Send with Google

I tried the service using Google Maps and could not make it work. First, the Google instructions themselves, state that the feature is to find a business as opposed to general directions. The same instructions state to click on SEND in the orange bar at the top of the map, choose SEND TO CAR and that's it. There is no orange bar and clicking on the SEND button that's there simply allows you to email the directions.

I also tried the same on Yahoo Maps and it does have the SEND TO CAR option. On the other hand, Yahoo maps lack the feature Google has allowing you to click on one highway and move the route to another that you might know should be the better way.

If anyone has had success using Google, let me know.

I couldn't get google to work either - Yahoo works. I think Google has not yet implemented it yet - Yahoo was that way a couple of weeks ago.

I guess just wait and see.
