Everything a location scout needs
No more guessing the light. No more arriving at the wrong time. Vantage gives you the data before you drive.
Live Sun & Moon Overlay
See exactly where the sun and moon will be at any time of day, overlaid directly on the map. Scrub through time to find golden hour to the minute.
Community Scout Reports
Read reviews from photographers who've been there. Lighting notes, best time of day, gear recommendations, and honest conditions reports.
Interactive Spot Map
Tap anywhere to discover nearby photo spots. Filter by tags — wildlife, landscape, architecture, astrophotography, and dozens more.
Private Locations
Save secret spots just for yourself. Private locations are only ever visible to you — your hidden gems stay hidden.
Spot Collections
Organize locations into named collections — "Upcoming road trip," "Fall foliage," "Drone shots" — and access them anywhere, offline included.
AI Caption Generator
Share your shots with captions that actually sound like you. AI-powered, photographer-aware — built right into the post flow.
Built by photographers,
for photographers
Vantage isn't a general-purpose maps app. Every feature is designed around how serious photographers actually plan and execute shoots.
