Disappointed in GPS NAV function
Hey everyone,
I've been meaning to ask about this for a while. I must say...the NAV function on my 2005 SLK55 is horrible. First, it doesn't seem like you can enter a specific address...only a range. Also, the visuals (graphics) suck. I can't believe a 2005 MB has such horrible graphics. My TOM TOM is more user friendly and functional.
Is there any way to upgrade it via a software update or something..or am I stuck with this stupid NAV function?
Thanks!

I think that the NAV function was developed several years before your car's manufacture date. I have a 2006 and similiar issues. My garmin Nuvi is as good or better, but I just bought it a year ago. I think the independent manufacturers or more on top of technological updates.
By the way if any one is interested I have 2 OEM NAV DVDs available for sale.

Anyone know if there are updated cds available that change the layout and graphics of the nav system? Or am I pretty much stuck with what I have right now? Thanks again.
