One More Reason To Go To AOPA Expo: New Voyager 4.0

Seattle Avionics Boasts All-New Real-Time Charting Engine, Plus Geo-Referenced Scanned Sectionals and IFR Charts

Seattle Avionics will be demonstrating their latest version of Voyager Flight Software System, Version 4.0, at the 2007 AOPA Expo. V4.0 features a completely re-written charting engine based on the same DirectX technology that Google Earth and Microsoft Flight Simulator use. Voyager's all-new charting engine is effectively real-time, capable of updating the screen more than 50 times a second, depending on hardware. This allows smooth, real-time zooms and pans - the first general aviation software offering this state-of-the-art technology.

Significantly, Voyager 4.0 can also display any combination of digital vector data and geo-referenced scanned Sectionals and IFR charts. This means that pilots can plan and fly using geo-referenced Sectionals or IFR enroute charts with overlaid weather, TFRs and aircraft position. Voyager 4.0 seamlessly merges all Sectionals and IFR charts so pilots need not select particular charts to display; they simply pick the type of chart to display and Voyager does the rest.

"This version of Voyager has been in the works for nearly two years and we're ecstatic to be demonstrating it today," said Steve Podradchik, CEO of Seattle Avionics Software.

"Over the years, pilots have said they loved Voyager's features but wanted it to be faster. We listened and rewrote the charting engine from the ground up, the difference being like night and day. Importantly, rather than write a fast but strictly 2D charting engine, we opted to spend the time and resources to use the very latest high-speed 3D graphics technology to lay the foundation for future versions of Voyager."

Voyager 4.0 also incorporates a new color scheme that works well in both daylight and night flights and the more than 50 enhancements included in the recently released Voyager 3.6.
 
New features include:

  • Current AvGas and Jet-A fuel prices integrated into the autorouter so that it automatically minimizes total fuel costs based on prices updated daily. Voyager also displays fuel prices on charts and in many places while using GlassView.
  • Export flight plans to Google Earth for virtual, 3D fly-throughs over actual three-dimensional satellite photos.
  • Integrated Google Maps lets Voyager show actual satellite images of each airport that can be zoomed in and out.
  • Memory Card Synch feature makes it easy to put Voyager data on a memory card to transfer to another computer.

Other recently added features include Voyager's exclusive Web Synch that performs "one-click" data synchronization among multiple computers for all pilot-specific information such as flight plans, aircraft and pilots profiles through the Internet and the ability to print flight plans to PDF files.

Pilots can get a personal demonstration of new Voyager 4.0 at AOPA Expo, Booth #214. The company always offers self-running demos, free Live Demo Webinars, and a free version of Voyager called FreeFlight.
