Anyone pay the $99 for Map Upgrade

I got this todayHello Jeffery.

The latest navigation update is ready for your 2016 Mercedes‑Benz S for just $99 until December 31, 2021.¹

Ride with confidence knowing your vehicle is equipped with:²
  • GPS mapping that can help you find the fastest routes available without draining your phone battery or data plan
  • Updated information on modified roads, signage, points of interest, addresses and more
  • Seamless vehicle console integration for increased safety, comfort and convenience when referencing your route
Contact your Mercedes‑Benz dealer to schedule installation today.

I don't use the MB system too much but wondering if i would regret not doing this for $99 bucks now. Opinions?

Interesting ... I'd probably bite on that if they could do it in a reasonable period of time. People have posted in the past that it takes like half a day ...

I got the $99.00 special in Dec 2018. The main road into my subdivision was not in the update, though the road had been open for a couple of years at that point. Kinda like you won't a road is missing until you drive on it.

My system is from 2015, it is probably a good time for me to update.

I did, Was useless. Not worth it. I find WAZ is a 100% more accurate.

I received this email the day after I got a map update from mbnavupdate.com. They only ask $129 and the update process was simple.

Yes, because the original owner never updated the navigation. So I went from 2015 to 2021. I still prefer to use my phone for local navigation most of the time, but the MB Navigation is good for long trips where cell service can be spotty.

I am scheduled to get the map update in December, first appointment that was available. It won't surprise me if they "aren't able to get it done" or "the Mercedes system isn't working" or some other BS excuse.
