Generally speaking, all Garmin Map Pilot versions can be enhanced with POI's and safety cameras via POIbase. However, as older versions are somewhat buggy as regards POI's, we recommend upgrading to the newest Garmin Map Pilot version. The navigation software can be upgraded via the Mercedes Download-Manager.

The download manager also allows you to backup your SD card, which is advisable.

For POIbase for PC to automatically detect your SD card as Garmin Map Pilot, you will also need to install the free Garmin POI-Loaderon your PC.

Updates & Downloads MapInstall and MapManager for the Mac. This download area offers free firmware upgrades for select Garmin® units. These upgrades are specific to the specific GPS units and software versions listed. This software should only be uploaded to the unit for which it is intended.

Features & Notes

• Automatic device recognition via POIbase for PC (for Garmin POI-Loader users)
• Manual device selection in the POIbase Web-Version
• Safety cameras can be displayed on the map (generic safety camera icon)
• POI's can be dislplayed on the map (including brand icons)
• Audio warnings when approaching safety cameras (not direction-sensitive, volume can be adjusted)
• POI's can be selected as destination in radius search
  (Limited, see instrucitons)

Unfortunately, Garmin Map Pilot will only display safety cameras with one generic icon, so it's not possible to differentiate between stationary safety cameras and potential mobile ones. Thus we recommend only installing the stationary safety cameras.

• Download and install Garmin POI-Loader.
• Remove the SD card from the sat nav and place it in a card reader connected to your PC.

Using Garmin POI-Loader for POIbase POI's

Notes

• Some Garmin Map Pilot versions display inaccurate symbols when warning of safety cameras. The error can be fixed as follows:
  On the SD card you will find a folder named 'Garmin Fonts'. Make a backup of it on your PC and save it somewhere you will find it again. Then open the folder on the SD card and delete the files '006-D0952-01.bin', '006-D0952-02.bin', '006-D4436-01.bin', '006-D4436-02.bin' ,'006-D4436-03.bin' and '006-D4436-06.bin'.
• By default, installed POI's will only be displayed as icons on the map and can be selected as a destination. There is a workaround to get them to show up in radius or list searches too. More info can be found : here (German only).
