Mercedes-Benz adds Google maps and Yahoo maps functionality to its Tele Aid System and Navigation starting September 5th.
Mercedes-Benz is pleased to announce Mercedes-Benz Search & Send, a new and exciting feature of Tele Aid. Mercedes-Benz Search & Send is a convenient way to plan destinations ahead of time. Using popular and familiar Google MapsTM and Yahoo! Local Maps® from the comfort of your home or office computer, you can search for a destination online, and send it right to your car.
Once you are in your vehicle, simply push the i-button and your destination will be downloaded directly to the vehicle’s navigation system via your Tele Aid service. You will be prompted to either start route guidance immediately, or save the information for later use in your navigation memory. Instead of spending time inputting data into your navigation system, your destinations can now be downloaded with the simple push of a button!
Time is valuable and having options is important. Search & Send gives you the flexibility to plan trips when and where you want. You can have colleagues or family send a destination to your Mercedes-Benz vehicle while on the road. Mercedes-Benz Search & Send naturally expands the convenience of the Internet directly into your vehicle. And, like so many other ground-breaking automotive innovations, Mercedes-Benz is the first automotive manufacturer to offer this functionality in the United States on select vehicles.
Mercedes-Benz Search & Send is available starting with MY07 S-Class, CL-Class, and all new MY08 C-Class. Vehicle must be equipped with the Tele Aid System with an active subscription and Navigation. This feature will launch on September 5th. Look for it on Google MapsTM and Yahoo Local Maps®, search for a destination, and click the “send to car” button.
