WTF have they done to Google maps? The page is covered with boxes & it is unusable now. Until recently you had the option of going back to "classic" gmaps, but that seems to be gone.
What sites do other people find easy & clear to use now that this one is useless?
So I bought my first Merc a month ago (it's brilliant) C250cdi Coupe, but the DAB reception is utterly ****e! My last BMW had excellent reception and I even had a Ford Fiesta on loan earlier this year and DAB reception in that was better than the BMW.
Have Merc fcuked up the aerial or what as...

My TVR Cerbera was crap, but when it got its act together and was in the mood for a fight was wonderful, the heat dissipation in the cockpit area, the smell of fuel and oil, the small Subaru WRXSTI disappearing in the rear view mirror....
My MK 1 golf convertible was also crap and would fill...
I don't know if I'm using the Comand Nav wrong, but it is really beginning to annoy me now as it has sent me to the wrong place a few times...
I enter the postcode of where I want to go, then confirm the town/city that it comes up with, and then enter the road name. Then off I go...

Trying to drive pretty carefully and although I have'nt done any long motorway journeys, my driving has been a mix of short motroway trips and local trips.
