How to Use

Welcome to Vectora Tilt

Vectora Tilt displays your vehicle's Roll and Pitch using your phone's motion sensors. You can also record adventures, review GPS routes, and add photographs and notes.

1. Mount Your Phone

  • Secure your phone in a rigid vehicle mount.
  • Select the correct mounting orientation (Calibration).
  • Avoid mounts that move or vibrate excessively.
  • Keep the phone in the same position during recording.

2. Select Your Vehicle

  • Open Garage.
  • Choose one of the 50 Vintage Adventure vehicles.
  • Select model/body style as applicable.
  • Choose Original Line Art, Classic Color or High Contrast.
  • The Catalog is the list of 50 reference models; My Garage holds your own vehicles. You can add the same model more than once.
  • Tap Make Active to use a vehicle on the gauges. The active vehicle is remembered when you reopen the app.
  • Specs show only values with a cited source; everything else reads "Specifications not yet documented".
  • Artwork labels show where each drawing comes from. None is verified yet.

3. Calibrate

  • Park on known-level ground.
  • Select ZERO.
  • Follow the calibration instructions.
  • Recheck calibration if the phone is moved.

Never calibrate on an unknown slope — the slope becomes your "level" and every reading will be wrong by that amount.

4. Read the Gauges

ROLL: Vehicle lean to the left or right.

PITCH: Vehicle nose-up or nose-down inclination.

The four maximum indicators show the greatest qualified Left, Right, Uphill and Downhill angles for the current recording context.

The green, amber and red segments on the dials are decoration only. They are the same for every vehicle and do not mark safe or unsafe angles.

5. Record a Trip

  • Select Trips.
  • Tap New Trip.coming soon (Today: START TRIP on Live.)
  • Choose or confirm the vehicle.
  • Enter or accept a trip name.
  • Enable GPS if desired.
  • Tap Start Recording.
  • Pause, resume or finish as needed.coming soon

If location access is disabled, the app will provide instructions for enabling it.

6. Add Photos and Notes

  • Add photographs during or after a trip.
  • Add notes and optional voice annotations.coming soon
  • Photos and notes are linked to a time and available GPS position.
  • Review them in Replay & Analysis.

Do not use the touchscreen while driving; stop safely or have a passenger operate it.

7. Replay Your Adventure

  • Open a saved trip.
  • Review the GPS route.
  • Replay the vehicle's Roll and Pitch.
  • Review Roll, Pitch, Speed and Elevation graphs.
  • Select photo, note and event markers.
  • Export the trip if desired.

8. Understanding Quality Indicators

● Green — Good: Calibrated readings and current sensor data appear suitable.

● Amber — Reduced Confidence: Motion or vibration may be affecting accuracy.

● Mounting Warning: The phone may have moved; inspect its mounting and calibration.

● Unavailable: Motion sensor data is missing or inaccessible.

Quality indicators are estimates, not independently verified precision measurements. Tap the dot in the header for details.

9. If Your Phone Moves

  • Secure or restore the original phone position.
  • Open the "Check Phone Mounting" warning.
  • Follow the guided verification or recalibration process.
  • Re-zero only when the required reference conditions are satisfied.

10. Important Limitations

Vectora Tilt provides informational and advisory measurements. It does not determine whether a vehicle is safe from rollover. Terrain, speed, traction, loading, modifications and driving conditions affect vehicle stability. Never rely on the app as the sole basis for a driving decision.

Browser-based recording may be interrupted when the application is backgrounded or the device screen is locked.
