Syncing Content from SmartGPS Eco
How It Works
When you register your device, a SmartGPS Eco account is created where your content is stored.
SmartGPS Eco continuously pulls information from the Internet that will be
used for content. The Magellan RoadMate Commercial is able to give you the
latest weather forecasts and current gas prices.
When your device connects to SmartGPS Eco, it 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, SmartGPS Eco begins syncing new
content, as well as verifying that your existing content is up-to-date.
How to Connect
You can use Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to synchronize and push data to your device.
• Wi-Fi Connection: The Magellan RoadMate Commercial 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
RoadMate Commercial will try to connect to the network whenever it is
in range. Once connected, it will communicate with SmartGPS Eco and
start obtaining new content. Additionally, when you turn off the Magellan
RoadMate Commercial and you are within range of a connected network,
the Magellan RoadMate Commercial will continue syncing for up to one
hour after it is turned off. Connecting with Wi-Fi is recommended for
synchronization of the content on the device. This will prevent increased
data usage on your smartphone.
• Bluetooth: If you have a smartphone (iPhone or Android-based phones) you can pair it with
your device and update content from SmartGPS Eco using the Bluetooth connection.
WARNING
Syncing SmartGPS Eco to your device via your smartphone is likely to cause increased
data usage. Please check with your carrier to ensure you have sufficient 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.
Note: If you do not have Internet access on your device, visit
create and manage your account. When a SmartGPS Eco ID has been created, use
this to register the device ( Settings > General > Register... )
