  10. After your payment has been processed, click on Install

6 - Manage Content

After purchase, in case there is no free space on your Media Nav (Evolution) device you will be offered to select specific parts of the map update package (e.g. single countries, regions) by ticking the checkboxes next to the content item one by one.

Before you use Manage Content option, please read carefully:

  • By default no content is selected. If you leave it like that none of the contents will be updated.
  • Only the selected contents (ticked boxes) will be updated and installed to your navigation device.
  • Contents previously available on your device (e.g. factory map) but not selected during this update will be deleted from your device. However, you will have access to update and re-install them anytime.
  • Select ALL the countries you wish to navigate through in order to receive proper routing (e.g. If you travel to Italy from Germany, you will need to select Austria (or any other country in-between) to get proper routing.)
  • You can access the Manage Content section from the left-hand side bar after logging in to the Toolbox anytime (provided there is an available content).
  • In case you wish to update some other parts of the purchased package, please visit the Toolbox again and unselect content which you no longer need and select new content from the package.

When the box is ticked, you will see the size of the content on the right hand-side. Also, there is an ‘Available space’ bar on the bottom of the screen which shows how much free space is left.

If you click on the arrow in front of the map update package, it will show the break-down of the package by contents (countries, regions, depending on what the content is).

You can even select single countries of the package to update:

Check the ‘Available space’ progress bar at the bottom of the screen which shows how much space is left. If it is fully colored, it means there is no more space, therefore you cannot choose more content, or you need to unselect some contents.

After selecting the desired content to update your device, click on Install. The selected content will be installed to your data carrier (USB).

NOTE: Contents previously available on your device (e.g. factory map) but not selected during this update will be deleted from your device. However, you will have access to update and re-install them anytime. Select ALL the countries you wish to navigate through in order to receive proper routing (e.g If you travel to Italy from Germany, you will need to select Austria (or any other country(ies) in-between) to get proper routing.)

Go to Step 4 and upload the new map update to your navigation device.

In case you do not install the selected contents to your device, the next time you start the Toolbox it will detect it. You will need to synchronize the navigation data from the device (Step 1) to purchase in the Toolbox again.

In case you wish to change some content in the future

  1. Go to Step 1 (synchronize the USB flash drive with your navigation device)
  2. Choose Manage content from the side bar
  3. You will see which content is already chosen
  4. Select the contents you wish to install

    NOTE: you may need to unselect some content first

  5. Download and Install
  6. Go to Step 4 and upload the new map update to your navigation device.
