The satellite navigation system used in Mercedes-Benz vehicles makes use of a central controller that not only controls the navigation system, but also general convenience settings and the audio system. This COckpit MAnagement and Navigation Device (COMAND) system includes a color monitor and a controller mounted on either the lower right-hand side of the screen or near the center console. Additional controls for COMAND are mapped to keys on the integrated phone keypad. Once the address is entered, the complete address will appear on the COMAND screen for confirmation. You will have the option to press the BACK button and make changes as necessary, or you may select Start Route Guidance, at which point the COMAND system will calculate the fastest route to your destination. Voice guidance is enabled by default, and Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use this feature to avoid distractions that could be caused by looking at the screen. If at any time you want to disable the voice guidance, press the MUTE button on the face of the radio. You may also use the + and - buttons mapped to the phone keypad to adjust the scale of the map shown on the screen. Writer Bio
