August 30, 2007 7:53 AM PDT Google, Yahoo to direct your Mercedes
Posted by Candace Lombardi | Post a comment
Mercedes-Benz USA has an answer to complaints that car navigation directions don't measure up to those from sites like Yahoo, Google and Ask.
The automaker has partnered with Google and Yahoo to allow users to send customized Google Maps and Yahoo Local Maps directly from a computer or Web-enabled cell phone to their car computer.
A new "Send to Car" icon that will appear on both companies' mapping sites will allow you to send customized directions, maps, addresses and points of interest to your Mercedes' GPS navigation system.
Once you get in your car, pushing the "i" button in your Mercedes will download the information directly to your car's computer for either immediate or future use.
Better yet, other people can send directions to your car while you're driving.
The high-tech car tech is called Search & Send and will become part of the current Mercedes roadside and emergency GPS service, Tele Aide.
It will be available on the Mercedes S-class sedan and CL-class coupe as of September 5 and the entire 2008 C-class lineup.

I didn't subscribe in USA cause I'm sure they won't be able to help me here in the Philippines if the car broke down.
But since there is no MAP available for Navigation here in the Phillippines for Mercedes it would be interesting to find out if I can download them via teleaid and if teleaid would actually connect from overseas.
So far google maps have better street maps compared to Yahoo maps but problem is I can't find a "send to car" on google maps.
