Syncing Content from SmartGPSEco
As described in the table above, much of the content available on the Magellan SmartRV is
provided through SmartGPSEco. Content may be delivered using Magellan Content Manager, a
Wi-Fi network, or using mobile data over a Bluetooth connection.
How It Works
When you register your device a SmartGPSEco account is created where
your content is stored. SmartGPSEco continuously pulls information from the
Internet that will be used for content.
When your device connects to SmartGPSEco, SmartGPSEco begins
researching your current location and your address book to determine what
content best suits your driving needs.
After the analysis of what content to send, SmartGPSEco begins syncing new
content, as well as verifying that your existent content is up-to-date.
This process keeps your device current with the content most needed by you
without spending time sending more information than is needed.
How to Connect
Three channels are available for content delivery and update; Wi-Fi, Magellan
Content Manager and Bluetooth. You can use whichever is available to you.
•
Wi-Fi Connection:
The Magellan SmartRV can automatically
connect to any Wi-Fi network that you have established a connection
with in Wi-Fi Settings. Once the network has been defined, the Magellan
SmartRV will try to connect to the network whenever it is in range. Once
connected, it will communicate with SmartGPSEco and start obtaining
new content. Additionally, when you turn off the Magellan SmartRV and
you are within range of a connected network, the Magellan SmartRV will continue syncing for
up to one hour after it is turned off.
•
Magellan Content Manager:
Connect your Magellan SmartRV to your personal
computer and open the Magellan Content Manager web page. From the Magellan Content
Manager you can initiate content syncing from SmartGPSEco to your device.
•
Bluetooth
: If you have a smartphone (iPhone or Android-based phones) you can pair it
with your device and update content from SmartGPSEco using the Bluetooth connection.
• Additional features are available when you have the Magellan app running on your
smartphone.
WARNING
Syncing SmartGPSEco to your device via your smartphone is likely to cause
increased data usage. Please check with your carrier to ensure you have suffi-
cient data available for use. Data rate charges vary by carrier and plan. It is your
responsibility to monitor your usage in an effort to not exceed your data plan
allowances.
