Using VantagePoint QUICK START
The following is an outline of the basic steps to start using VantagePoint with your GPS
receiver:
Startup
1. Start VantagePoint (VP) application program by clicking on the VP icon on your PC
desktop.
Select a Map
The following steps help you select a Background or Detailed Map:
1. If not already selected, select the
‘Maps’ function.
2. The available maps are displayed in
the Display Window. Those maps
that are active are indicated with a
check mark.
3. Detailed Maps will also be displayed
here under the background maps.
Detailed maps can be purchased
from MagellanGPS.com and can be
installed in VP and uploaded to your
receiver. If you have any detailed
maps installed, simply check those
maps you want to use, and uncheck
the ones you will not want to
currently use.
Once you have purchased a
detailed map, you can use the green
plus icon in the upper right to add
the map to VP, which will then
provide a way to add the map to
your receiver.
Be sure to check your receiver to
verify that it has the capability of
transferring maps before purchasing
any detailed maps. The Magellan
web site will indicate which
receivers the detailed map works with.
