So far, all versions of the Garmin Map Pilot software are faulty. POIs are currently not displayed correctly. The errors can only be remedied by an update from Mercedes or Garmin. If you like, you can download and try our speed camera database. However, please do not expect a perfect solution. At your own risk, (as refunds are not possible after download), since the errors are not based in our files. You can see the known software versions and errors at the end of this page.
We look forward to helping you as a beta tester and sharing your experience with us; especially if we don't know a software version yet. We collect them for all users at the bottom of this page. Please send an email to support@scdb.info with brief feedback and the following information about your device (ideally with photos):
Device name

Installed maps
SD card version
