Overview
Magellan VantagePoint™ software allows you to view, edit and store color maps on a 
personal computer, with zoom and pan functions for easy map browsing.  Use “Planner” to 
map a route for an upcoming hike or geocaching trip, then transfer the route to your 
Triton® GPS. Use “Search” function to locate addresses, Points of Interests, coordinates
 
and other map objects to help plan a trip.
 Load detailed 
maps needed for your trip. 
Customize your maps with routes, waypoints, markers, text labels, photos and audio 
recordings of your journeys. Then view all map data with VantagePoint.
 
Track Analysis 
tool can playback the user’s experiences on the trip to share with others.
 
The “
Library” 
function helps to organize and store all of your content including Maps, Journals (user 
generated data), and Media. Then VantagePoint can synchronize data and transfer 
routes, tracks, waypoints, and geocaches between your PC and GPS. Plan your next 
vacation, day trip, backpacking hike, geocache hunt or other adventure, sitting at your 
computer right in your home. Entering waypoints while traveling on a bumpy road or on 
rough water can cause errors or be hazardous if it distracts you. Obstacles are easier to 
find on the larger screen of your computer. These are the advantages of using Magellan 
VantagePoint™ software  with your GPS Receiver for planning a trip. 
A VantagePoint pop-up screen will remind you of available new software updates for 
VantagePoint or Triton when they are available online for you to download*.
