Using VantagePoint
Main Window
After launching VantagePoint, the Main Window opens and displays the user
interface with a Background Map*. The user interface is intuitive and easy to use.
Toolbars have been replaced by a “Ribbon” where commands are organized into
“Tabs” with Subtasks and Command buttons appearing after a Tab is selected:
The major elements of the screen and their function are as follows:
Tabs – Tabs are task-menus
Toolbar – Tools for each Tab
Left Panel – Selecting Map or Planner opens the Left Panel options
Map Manipulator – View the Map Manipulator by scrolling over it
Map Window – The Background map will display automatically
Status Bar – Current selected functions are indicated on the Status Bar
Vertical Profile – Optional feature when working with a Magellan Topo Map and user clicks
on street or Track. The Vertical Profile is located on lower-right corner and is partially
hidden until mouse pointer hovers over it.
*A “Background Map” contains only major roads and landmarks, intended for areas where you haven’t loaded a detailed
map into your GPS device.
