Mercedes GPS with Yahoo Search

Mercedes GPS with Yahoo Search: "

Mercedes Benz is planning a launch that should start to heat up the pre-installed GPS options as they are offering the ‘Search and Send’ capability that will allow you to obtain addresses online and outside of the car and send those addresses to your car via the installed TeleAid system (Think ‘OnStar’). This while not fully connected, this starts to walk down that pathway, as people will continue to drive the capability and needs in that direction.

I have to say that this is a lot like the ‘Dash Send to Car’ capability that was demonstrated with the Dash Connected Navigation unit that was unveiled last year. Recall that unit is fully connected, with WiFi capability and integrates websearch as well as map updates via downloads.

This 'Search and Send’ capability on the Mercedes S-class sedan and CL-class coupe will be available as of September 5 and eventually in the entire 2008 C-class lineup.
