Don't Tell Your Friends You Have NAV
NewMoses - I'd be pissed to if I had just spent $ 1,500.00 on a NAV system that was less adept than a Toyota's. 
If the NAV system is CD driven can a different CD be used that would have the Info. that is missing from the MB CD? 
After saying this, I must say you already know where you are going and your E55 is an awsome way to get there. So, go make a few WOT runs and maybe terrorize a Porsche or a Ferrari and relax, you have an awsome car to enjoy!!

I love my E55 and I have to agree, the Nav system sucks! I have commented in other strings that my Nissan had a much better system. My Dealer did some kind of software update but that didn't help. I don't know how many times I have searched for a street that was 10 to 20 years old and the NAV did not have it. Mercedes needs to improve it something fierce.
I will continue to buy Mercedes but probably not get NAV.

LOL... I called NAV on euro cars are retarded.... but you are still lucky.... the NAV on my C55 is not only retarded... but the joystick is very annoying (I think E55 has the cursor and OK button, right?). You have to be very very careful when pressing "OK". Otherwise, it will just move the highlight / cursor instead of "OK"ing. 
But I'll still buy an MB w/ NAV.... at least it looks cooler and should attract more buyers

But I didnt buy the E55 for the Nav, I bought it because I like its sleeper look, power on demand and its monsterous torque!!!

I don't have a Nav system so I can't gripe about it. I do pay for the Mercedes equivalent of ONSTAR, I forget the name, but you push the "I" button next to the phone and they will assist you getting any where you want. I much prefer that method rather than f-ing with more worthless electronics.
