Magellan's CrossoverGPS series of navigation devices allows you to put a GPS receiver on your dashboard, your boat or the hand opposite your walking stick. But mostly due to the changes in roads and points of interest, your software can get outdated, which can lead to poor directions and even your device freezing up. Avoid this by making sure your CrossoverGPS is operating with the latest free software update from the company, and by downloading tools to your personal computer that can alert you as soon as another new update is available.
Download Content Manager
This is the program you'll need on your personal computer. Connect your computer and CrossoverGPS with your USB connector and turn on both devices. Go to the second link in the Resources section and click on the "Download" link. Select "Save as" and save the file to a convenient location on your computer. Once downloaded, double-click on the file, click on "Run," then choose a language and continue to follow the prompts to install Content Manager on your computer.
Using Content Manager
For the most part, Content Manager is there for you when you need it. It will let you know when the latest maps are available for your region with the most current points of interest, helping you to avoid more glitches and bad data. It will also keep you informed about specialty or touring maps available to your CrossoverGPS -- for a price, of course.
Update Your CrossoverGPS, Too
Downloading Content Manager allows you to connect your CrossoverGPS to your computer, which will detect your device and detect whether it is operating on the most current software. If not, it will facilitate a quick download of the proper software with the most updated maps, construction data and points of interest available to your particular model.
