No navigation with oversized vehicle

Mercedes connect app giving me error showing route anywhere. Error: No navigation with oversized vehicle.

Is this a Mercedes problem or a ME problem?

What exactly are you doing? Why are you trying to navigate with the Mercedes me connect app? Use Google Maps etc. via CarPlay or the car's navigation system. You can send an destination from your phone to the car and then start the navigation there. I know you can enter an destination in the Mercedes me connect app and then have it give you a route, but that doesn't actually navigate. In order to navigate you have to send the destination to the car and start navigation in the car. If it says unable to calculate a route, then for some reason there's no route between your current location and the destination. A rare occurrence, but I suppose it could happen. You gonna have to provide some more details such as screenshots so we can actually see what you are trying to do, but sounds like a misunderstanding on your part.

I’ve been using it for a year and it works until today? Much easier to send address to the car than inputting with COMAND.
I am referring to using the app to show routing. It’s a feature I use even if you don’t. It no longer shows the route.

I also like sending the route to the car like you. Have you shut down the app and restarted it yet? Also, clear the app cache/memory, not the data, and ou shold be good to go. If that doesn't work you'll need to uninstall the app and reinstall.

So I found this. There's an extra for routing with oversized vehicles. Don't know if this is even available in the US, but it could be a bug in the Mercedes me connect app that it is incorrectly thinking your car is oversized. Do you see any options in the app to specify vehicle parameters? I don't have any in my app as far as I can see.

EDIT: Deleting app from iPhone and reinstalling fixed the problem. It didn’t prompt for a password so it must have saved data somewhere. There is no setting to delete app data or cache that I can see.

I see no settings. And this happened without me doing anything. I’ll try uninstalling. Already tried updating.

If you look at the oversized vehicle navigation feature I posted above, it has a lot to do with navigation. Not relevant for a standard S Class perhaps, so this was clearly a bug, but in the context of pulling a trailer this feature is meant to keep you off roads that are too narrow, have entry restriction, don't support the length, width and height of the vehicle + trailer such as tunnels mentioned above or don't support the gross weight of the vehicle + trailer. More of a thing in Europe where you find narrow roads with weight restrictions and entire roads where you are not allowed to drive with a trailer.
