We just completed a lengthy road trip in our new E500 wagon.=20 The car was incredible on the highway and we also enjoyed=20 using the concierge service to reserve hotel rooms while=20 traveling. The Nav system was very helpful in planning the=20 route and telling us when to turn. However, it had little=20 information about exit services.
The only disappointment was the lack of exit information on=20 the Nav DVD. For instance, we passed many exits on I-10 and=20 I-40 that had gas stations, restaurants and motels (POI's on=20 the Nav unit), but our auto's nav knew nothing about any at=20 that location. Frequently, it would tell us about a=20 restaurant, filling station or motel 40-60 miles away while=20 we were sitting in the parking lot of some at an interchange.
Has MB deleted many of the POI's on the DVD so that one DVD=20 can cover North America? If so, they have done a disservice=20 to the users. I would rather have 2-3 DVD's that covered=20 the country in detail rather than just one, hidden away in a=20 wheel well, that failed to give good information. I have=20 used Street Atlas USA for many years, coupled to a Garmin=20 GPS receiver, and find that it "knows" far more about exit=20 services (POI"s) than the MB DVD.
Does anyone make a competing DVD that would work in the MB?
