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).
