International MB Drivers - with what3words adventure stories

[AutoJen]

I'm a massive Mercedes-Benz fan and LOVE that I get to work with such an iconic automotive brand through my role at what3words!
I'd be really keen to hear from any drivers with what3words enabled vehicles (latest MBUX should work!) who've used what3words for some cool adventures, especially in multiple languages - any Japanese (text input) and Korean (voice and text) would be especially interesting...
Thanks so much in advance!

As a massive Mercedes-Benz fan, I'm super excited to be working with such an iconic automotive brand in my role at what3words.

I'd love to hear from any MB drivers (with the latest MBUX) who've used what3words (location technology integrated into your vehicle via MBUX) in languages other than English in their vehicles and particularly keen to hear from anyone using Japanese (text input) and Korean (voice and text)?

Thanks so much in advance!

Hello and welcome,

What is your role at What3words?

 

[AutoJen]

Hi Blobcat - thanks for the welcome!

I look after Partner Success for Automotive at what3words - working very closely with our technical and customer service team to ensure any Mercedes-Benz driver queries (or other partner OEM questions) are answered and that the integrations work as expected - hope that helps a bit?

Hi Jen and welcome to the forum

As a suggestion, many older MB sat nav systems (NTG2.5 in my SLK and NTG4 in my S204, both 2008 cars) are no longer getting map updates since 2019 (which actually means 2018). Getting your system to work with those older systems would be very helpful, especially for us "baby boomers" who use mobile phones as phones, not mobile PC's!!

Appreciate the feedback - will investigate!
