Magellan VantagePoint Software

Just came across this info on Magellan’s website about their new VantagePoint software coming out soon. (Link)

I noticed that is says it will be compatible with the CrossoverGPS, so it looks like it might be a promising addition for me.

Also, I came across a little more information on GPS Tracklog about the software here.

The other possible good news there is this part:

Q: Will the Triton accept geocaching log data (like descriptions, hints, previous logs) along with the actual geocache points?

A: All geocaches will have to be loaded into VantagePoint prior to synchronization with Triton, but most (if not all) geocache attributes are supported in VP.

Q: Will the unit accept standard .gpx files via USB?

A: .GPX files will be loaded into VantagePoint first, then VP will communicate with Triton via USB.

I wonder if this will make loading geocaches onto the CrossoverGPS easier, too? Also, I wonder if there will be another firmware upgrade to the Crossover with this software’s release?

Only time will tell……but I’ll keep optimistic at this point, and will certainly be trying out this software with my Crossover as soon as it becomes available 🙂
