I hear you. MB GPS systems (even in the '07's) are sub par for what you are paying for. I have the same CD based system in my '04 SL600 and even the DVD based system in my E500 is still FAR inferior to the Nav system in my wife's '04 Toyota Land Crusier. Unfortuantely you really don't have any options except to live with it. I just can't imagine Mercedes is not aware of this.

I agree. I have the 07 cds and they do not even compare to the $350 Garmin Streetpilot which I take with me in the Benz. Plus, you can update the portable units on your home computer with the latest maps.
It's truly sad the Mercedes doesn't keep up here. But remember, they were one of the last car makers to finally accept cupholders in their cars as well.
