Welcome to the Stratomaster Voyager

The Voyager is MGL's latest EFIS development was released and began shipping in November 2008.

The Voyager is essentially an 8.4"display version of the ground breaking Stratomaster Odyssey (10.4") and is intended for panels which cannot accommodate the Odyssey. Voyager came into being to meet the clamour for a smaller 'Odyssey' by all of the people who cannot fit the Odyssey into their panels, but, wanted all of its industry leading features in a smaller package.

The Voyager provides everything offered by the Odyssey - it is 100 per cent software and hardware interface compatible with the Odyssey and it functionality identical. What's more, Voyager's very high resolution 8.4" display remains a large display in anyone's language - it just isn't huge like the Odyssey's!

So, the essential difference between the Voyager and the Odyssey EFIS systems is the physical size of the screen and resulting from that, the size of the housing. The physical layout of both panels is identical, as is there appearance (aside from their physical size).

Australian Vector map file (download site)

Australian navidata file (airport/waypoint/airspace info.) Note data is free, but, DATA IS NOT CURRENT and so includes errors and ommissions and is used at the risk of the user.

World terrain file for use by Odyssey and Voyager MKII systems (approx. 25 MB file)

After download, unzip this file to get a file called "World.bmp". Place this file in the Terrain folder of your simulator's active project or (in an actual Voyager/Odyssey panel) install this file from an SD card to your EFIS terrain folder using the 'Install tasks' menu option (menu level 2).

This file is used for large scale zoom levels as backdrop to the moving map.

Important - keep your system up to date by ensuring the latest system firmware is installed.

Is your Odyssey/Voyager running the lastest system software ?
