List of issues so far
1. No TA (radio) traffic announcements
2. No audible traffic warnings of any sort
3. LiveTraffic showing routes as green when they are congested (Google Maps show the congestion, for comparison)
4. Map data and LiveTraffic do not recognise certain roads when route planning despite showing on the map itself.
5. Green, yellow and red stripes (denoting traffic flow) are very difficult to make out.
6. Map updates incredibly slow or stall
7. Cannot view list of traffic issues on planned route (unlike previous versions)
8. Cannot load user POIs in to the system (unlike previous versions)
Ultimately, in my view, the whole navigation system has taken a step backwards in functionality whilst at the same time adding a new level of unnecessary complexity, fuelled by the desire to storm forwards with 'connected services'....
I often get slowed down on motorways by the cruise control. In my case, it's bloody lorries with those limited to 50mph stickers on the back. Camera reads them as a road sign and brakes the car! You'd think there be logic to check if the road sign the camera is reading is actually stationary; don't see many roads signs running along the pavement!
The issue with updates getting stuck half-way and not completing is because MB UK opted to install 3G sim cards (on the Vodaphone network) on UK vehicles, whereas MB Germany etc all opted to go with 4G sims. Dealers requested a recall/retro-fit of 4G cards but MB UK refused and instead opted for cars to be returned to dealer workshops and for updates to be carried out plugged in to the MB network (for approx. 4hours).
I decided to download all of the rest of Western Europe and put that onto the SD card. I just plugged it into the reader slot in the armrest box and away it all went. Interestingly, because the car was moving, the first 85% took well over an hour, the last 15% which hadn't completed when I arrived home took a few minutes whilst the car was stationary with the ignition on. BTW, anybody know if you can upload music to the car from an SD Card?? My Jag used to do it easily. Mind you, my Jag would allow me to use personalised POI's. The one thing I am disappointed with in the E350!
