Google Local Search App





You already rely on Google's reliable and virtually unlimited search capabilities on your computer and smartphone. Now you can have the same power in your car. Search for any destination on the web and navigate directly to it, or save it for later. Call the number in the listing and see photos of where you're going on the in-dash screen, before you even start your journey.
 
The GoogleTM Local Search App enables the customer to access Google’s database of millions of POIs (points of interest) near their current location or a future destination, along a route or at other specific locations. This app provides the customer with the ability to view detailed POI search results, save search results, call POI phone numbers (if available), use the POI location as a navigation destination, and view POIs via Google Street View and Panoramio.
   

To use Google Local Search, the customer accesses Mercedes-Benz Apps by selecting the globe icon on the in-dash screen and then clicking on the Google Local Search App icon on the Main Screen. From there, the customer can select from pre-defined popular searches, search history, or type in a new query. The customer can also select search vicinity (current position, destination, along route or other location). After making their selections, search results from Google are presented and can be used.
