The Magellan Maestro 4350 and 4370 are global positioning system (GPS) navigation units for your car. The units will calculate a route to your destination and provide detailed, turn-by-turn driving directions. Magellan Content Manager, software designed to work with Maestro 4350 and 4370, allows you to edit KML or KMZ files for use on your Magellan. KML and KMZ files hold geographical information. By using Content Manager, you can export routes or points of interest to edit and then import them again.
