Despite the advanced capabilities of modern smartphones, GPS devices are still widely used in cars. Unfortunately, their limited functionality makes it difficult to manage information or to keep the devices up to date, but in many cases, the manufacturers roll out special software for this purpose. For Magellan-made GPS devices, you can use Magellan Content Manager. It enables you to access stored addresses and keep the device up to date, without any difficulties.

Magellan Content Manager is free and it is available for all popular Windows and Mac OS X. It comes in a small package and it can be installed in under a minute. The hardware requirements are modest and there is no need to install any prerequisite tools, but you will have to create an online account.

The software provides support for most Magellan-made GPS devices. All you have to do is connect the device to your computer, run the program and log into your Magellan account. The software's controls are easy to learn, thanks to the interface's efficient layout. You can manage addresses, downloaded contents and access general information about your GPS device on separate tabs.

The address book is where you can access stored addresses on your device and add new ones if you need to. The software comes with an address validation function, so you can make sure the addresses you input are correct, before you start synchronizing them. Address entries are displayed in a list, on the left side of the window, and you can view additional details on the right side.

Downloaded contents can be managed just as addresses. They are displayed in a list and you can view all sorts of details about each selected items. Finally, you can find every bit of information you want about your GPS device on the device information tab. The information includes model and serial numbers, software version, internal and card memory and you can even find a mileage report, which includes your total and top speeds, longest trip and so on.

Updating options are other features you can expect to find in Magellan Content Manager. It can check for map updates and for software updates for the GPS device itself. You can find these options at all times, in the lower region of the interface, regardless of what tab you have selected.

Magellan Content Manager gives you more control and flexibility over any Magellan-manufactured GPS device.

Pros

You can manage addresses and downloaded contents on a Magellan GPS device, from a computer. The software provides numerous details about such devices. It can also look for map and software updates.

Cons

There are no serious issues to mention.
