Personal POIs

[DaveA66]

Hi

I have always used Google as a Satnav but thought I would try the MB one, and wanted to upload speed cameras into the Personal POIs.
Now, still fairly new to MB8 and I have been goiung around in circles with COMAND version and model versions

I *think* mine is a S205? (2019 C class Estate C300d)

Also I *think* my COMAND is 5.2?

Nothing I can find online about adding POIs seesm to match with what I see on the screen, although apparently my version of COMAND does support it, as long as I have identified the correct version!

Any advice or pointers welcome!

Cheers

I "think" you're right - my 2018 car, on the same platform as yours with Comand is 5*2. BUT... yours may be a facelift car so it may have MBUX.

Put your VIN into last vin.com and it should tell you what NTG/MBUX system you have. Mine says "531 COMAND APS NTG5/NTG5.5"

For speed cameras, I use scdb.info and it that file loads direct as POIs without any effort.

Thanks for the reply, I'll check my VIN.
I was hoping to use the speed camera files from pocketgpsworls as I already subscribe to that but I think SCDB to a free trial version?

hmm, lastvin.com couldn't find the vehicle but mb.vin did

So I have COMAND APS NTG5/NTG5.5

And then from SCDB:-

Oh dear - at least you have a definitive answer.
