[Review] The Voyager Pro by Trail Tech

Go get lost and find your way back with the Voyager Pro by Trail Tech . Having these units installed on both our dirt bikes and adventure bikes has been a game-changer for a multitude of reasons. Not only are the Voyager Pros extremely user friendly, they are a quick and easy install, and house some features that are kick ass no matter what type of riding you’re doing. The Voyager Pro display is a generous 4 inches that you can see in any condition and use with gloves.

First and foremost, one of the coolest features on the Voyager Pro is the Buddy Tracking. This is such a sweet system, whether you’re riding with a group or just riding with your partner. We’ve used it extensively on single track in the desert, mountain rides in Colorado, and out in the middle of nowhere on the dual sports. If you’re with a big group, buddy tracking is an amazing way to stick together without having to stick together. You can see where members of your group ride and if you have someone that really loves to get ahead and the routes you’re riding aren’t loaded on the VP, you can turn on buddy tails and they’ll never be able to lose you. With Buddy Tracking, there’s also the “Emergency Beacon” option that you can enable and it will display a red alert on the screen of your group members. Whether you’re injured or broken down or just need a snack break your group members will know to get back to you.

Of course, for buddy tracking to really work to its fullest potential, everyone in your group would need to have a Voyager Pro installed and it’s a lot of money to spend. On top of that, if you wreck a lot like me, you may question installing a $600 device with a screen onto a motorcycle that you have a habit of wrecking.

One thing worth mentioning on the Buddy Tracking is that if all members of your group aren’t updated to the same software version, it will or can be kind of glitchy. Always check this if you are having trouble connecting! Another cool thing about Buddy Tracking is that if you have a friend in a RZR, if they have the Buddy Tracking software in their unit they can also track you and you them.

The screens that you can set on the Voyager Pro are all beneficial and I love that Trail Tech gives you the option to enable screens or disable them. This means that if you only use the Map Screen and the Media Screen, you can set it so you only scroll through those two screens. One of many ways that the Voyager Pro can be customized to your preferences.

The Map Screen is my personal favorite and what I typically ride with. What I really love about this screen is that it’s giving me an easy to read and use map but I also have options for gauges. You can customize which gauges show while on this screen which is awesome. You don’t have to toggle between a map screen and a gauge screen while you’re riding, all the information that you need is right in front of you on one screen. The map is easy to see in all conditions, the zoom and scale features work well and there is a shortcut button to access some options that you may need frequently.

Listening to music while you ride also just got a hell of a lot easier thanks to the Media Screen. You can connect your phone and helmet headset via Bluetooth to the VP and have your phone controls right in front of you. It’s an amazing feature if you frequently listen to music while you ride. You can even access messages and calls.

The track and route management with the Voyager Pro and Trail Tech’s mapping software, Ride Leader, has really changed the game for Tyson and me in terms of trip or ride planning. It’s an extremely easy to use program, there’s no learning curve, and it takes the frustration out of planning your day/ride. If you have used Garmin’s Basecamp in the past, rest assured that this is about 1000 times easier to use. A feature that we’ve found incredibly useful with the Voyager Pro is that if you have a specific route that you want to conquer for the day, but you have all of your routes loaded on your unit, you can hold down on the actual route and have the option to change the color of it. It makes it so easy to stay on route whether you’re heading out for 30 miles of technical single track or 200 miles of dirt roads on the dual sports.

The few drawbacks we’ve come up with in regards to the Voyager Pro are pretty minimal and overall we’ve been very pleased with our Voyager Pros (and even more so, I think our friends are happy that we have them because they no longer have to wait for us). On long dual sport trips, we’ve noticed that the mounts get very sticky when dusty and it can be hard to actuate the release to take the units off. The battery life is pretty poor (3 hours or less from what we’ve tested) so they really have to be plugged in and on the mount all the time. This isn’t a huge deal if you have everything hard wired in but when we had some bike battery issues, it resulted in the VP dying quickly. I know I mentioned this above but at $600, the Voyager Pros are an expensive unit. Do we love them and think they’re worth it? Yes. Are there are people that wouldn’t spend $600 on a piece of tech for their moto? Probably. The accessories for the Voyager Pro are also quite spendy, including the protective case, which is probably something we should’ve invested in by now.

The Voyager Pro has definitely been something that, after using them for almost a year, we question what riding was like before we had them. One of our main riding groups is equipped with Voyager Pros and it really makes group rides more fun because it’s just fluid when you’re not stopping at every single intersection. On the dual sport side of things, the Voyager Pro has given us faith when we previously would’ve been very lost. If you like going out and getting lost, you can do so with the Voyager Pro but you’ll always know how to find your way back. We’re planning a trip down to Central America for the fall and we will likely be planning our routes on the Ride Leader site and it will be much less frustrating and easy to navigate when we are there with these units. Last time we went on a big ride (pre-VP era), we got so frustrated with Garmin’s Basecamp that we effectively gave up. We took paper maps and wasted a lot of time trying to figure out where we were going. Those days are behind us and we can spend less time making wrong turns and more time riding. If you’re interested in purchasing the Voyager Pro, doing so using our provided link supports us as we get a small kickback from your Amazon purchase. We appreciate the support!

*We received a Voyager Pro for free in exchange for a review, however, it’s important to know that all thoughts are our own.

Voyager Pro

• So easy to use right out of the box
• Quick and easy install
• Buddy Tracking is sweet
• Visible in all conditions
• Ride Leader is easy to use and learn (track and route management is easy)
• Mounts get sticky on long dusty rides and makes it hard to remove VPs
• More frequently used buttons are on throttle side of the unit
• Battery life is only about 2-3 hours

I love anything outside, my hound dog, and adventures big or small.

GPS mount plate, Voyager Pro / Garmin / TomTom / Magellan / RAM ball / etc (AMPS-type dock to C3 top clamps)

Description.

NEW HD 4-bolt version! By the time you get the aluminum dock and protector cage on your Trail Tech Voyager Pro (which, let's be honest, is THE way to run the Voyager Pro), it's a decent bit of weight, which is a tall order for the original 2-bolt design. The new HD style is highly recommended in most applications, to give you peace of mind to take more abuse.

• HD (4-bolt) - recommended for all "permanent" mounted offroad/motorcycle/automotive GPS units, such as Trail Tech Voyager Pro, Garmin Montana, or similar.
• Original (2-bolt) - recommended for small, lightweight handheld GPS units only, for example Garmin eTrex (though not all docks for those style of units use AMPS bolt pattern, please verify before purchasing)

A high-quality billet machined panel for mounting GPS units (and other accessories that use the AMPS bolt pattern standard ) to the C3 FORCEFIELD NXT Handguards  /  top clamps .

The best riser + handguard setup around, now compatible with your favourite GPS, further cementing the C3 system as the industry premium for sleek and polished finishing touches in your cockpit and dashboard. 

• The lowest-profile mounting surface possible - GPS is less exposed to branches and debris
• Fixed 24° angle relative to the ground for ideal readability (or alternative "Lo" configuration, totally vertical)
• Maintain compatibility with one switch/gauge panel
• Verified 100% perfect "plug-and-play" fitment with Trail Tech Voyager Pro . Most other GPS models will work too, but cannot be guaranteed
• AMPS pattern holes are tapped for M4 screws included with Voyager pro and many other popular GPS units
• This bolt pattern is an industry standard and used on many Garmin / TomTom / Magellan, etc GPS units, as well as popular and flexible RAM ball mount systems
• Compatible with Trail Tech's billet Protector case and heavy-duty Aluminum Dock

Includes everything you need to be plug-and-play with Voyager Pro and many other popular GPS units - the billet CNC'ed mount panel and 2 low profile socket cap screws. Does NOT include a GPS dock, or the 4 AMPS screws, as those are typically included with the GPS kit itself. Does NOT include the C3 one-piece top clamp itself (which is mandatory for use) - that's available on its own here  or as part of a  handguards kit . 

Assembly notes: DON'T over-torque the fasteners! As with any M5 screw, around 5 N-m (3.5 ft-lb) is sufficient, and 3 N-m (2 ft-lb) for the M4.

FAQ - does the new Voyager Pro Aluminum Dock tightening knob interfere with the lightbar? A: Just replace the knob thumb screw with any other M5 fastener.

1. What maps come standard with Voyager Pro?

Voyager Pro is pre-loaded with maps of the USA.

2. How do I upload different country and region maps to Voyager Pro?

Download maps from our website for free: https://www.trailtech.net/software/

3. What types of Tracks/Routes/Waypoints can I upload to my Voyager Pro?

Voyager Pro accepts tracks, routes, and waypoints in GPX format.

4. Can I use Voyager Pro without vehicle sensors?

Yes, you can use Voyager Pro without any sensors connected, but a 12v DC power connection is required. However, integrating with the vehicle provides you visibility to several key features (engine temperature, battery voltage, tachometer, and wheel speed).

5. How does Voyager Pro display speed?

All speed and distance data can be gathered using GPS or the wheel sensor. For the most accurate readout, we recommend using the wheel sensor.

6. How do I connect Voyager Pro to power?

Voyager Pro requires 12v DC power. Connecting Voyager Pro to AC power will damage the unit and void the warranty.

For applications where DC power is not available, Trail Tech offers an AC wall charger to charge the internal battery (internal battery life is ~45 minutes.)

7. Can Voyager Pro be turned on/off manually?

Yes, hold the upper left button to power Voyager Pro on/off.

8. How do I get the best GPS reception possible?

The internal antenna is designed for optimum reception when installed with a clear view of the sky. Some installations may require mounting under or near metal objects that would block the signal, and in these instances an external antenna (9000-EAA) should be installed.

9. Can I use the same sensors on my Voyager GPS with the new Voyager Pro?

Yes, the Voyager Pro uses the exact same sensors as all other Trail Tech gauges. Note: The power input on the Voyager GPS accepts a wider voltage range. Please double-check that it 2019s 12v DC power.

10. How does buddy tracking work?

Buddy tracking uses long range radio frequencies to connect multiple riders and display each rider as an icon on the screen.

The external antenna is required for buddy tracking to function properly.

11. How far is the range between riders when using buddy tracking?

The range varies depending up the terrain. We typically see between .5 and 1.5 miles of range. The range improves with better line of sight.

12. In what regions of the world is buddy tracking currently enabled?

North America, Central America, South America, and Australia / New Zealand.

Trail Tech Voyager Pro Questions

By Trailryder42 , October 24, 2023 in General Dirt Bike Discussion

Recommended Posts

Trailryder42.

Anyone running this unit?

What setup are you using to charge the head unit indoors with the AC adapter? 

The AC adapter on the website looks like it has the same type white connector as the those in the wiring harness. Do they expect you to unmount the dock from the bike, disconnecting all of the power, sensor wires and antenna, to enable you to charge/run the head unit indoors? That's A LOT of wear and tear on those components, every time you want to charge it with the AC adapter. 

The only other option I see is to have a spare dock, with its sole purpose being to be able to charge the head unit in doors WITHOUT dock and harness disconnecting from the bike.

I initially figured the AC adapter would have a proprietary end that magnetically snapped to the charge port on the back of the head unit, but no.

I guess I had better keep the power wire connector in the harness on the bike easily accessible for now and run an extension cord with AC adapter out to it.

The TT VP really fails in the charging department as far as I am concerned.  The unit has to be turned on and booted up to charge.  That means that if the battery is totally discharged the unit gets into a cycle of trying to boot, but then turning immediately back off.  It is pretty frustrating especially if you are at the start of a ride.  Yes, you need a spare dock to charge off the bike.  Shouldn't be a problem since you have to buy the aluminum dock if you want long term dependable performance so you have the supplied plastic dock for off bike charging.  This is the crazy procedure that I follow for off bike charging.  I have the ac adapter from TT, mine kicks out about 15vdc.  Put VP in my spare dock, connect the ac adapter.  Turn on VP. Be sure that you turned your screen brightness all the way down, and that it is set to always charge.  Then since it overheats and looses its mind if I just let is charge from the ac adapter I have to put the whole thing into a small cooler with some ice packs to keep it cool enough to charge.  Crazy, but at least I know the VP is going to work when I need it to.  During riding season it will stay charged from my bikes system.  It usually isn't that big of a deal.  My VP always slowly discharges even if it isn't in the dock.  If I let it sit for 2-3 months it will be discharged. You also can't swap battery packs like you could on the old voyager.  Don't get me wrong I like the VP you just need to keep an eye on the battery.

Thanks for the tips. I wouldn't think the charger pushing only 1 amp , it would get so hot. I'll keep an eye on it.

Could be that my ac adapter is pushing 15v.   My ac adapter is from TT, but came in a voyager kit several years ago. The bike puts out 14v, so I haven't worried too much about it.

Solarguy said: Our 2023 7S gauges are awesome when working properly but both of our units have only worked intermittently with the group ride feature. We rode with high voltage and his voyager gauge, it is so good to see where everyone in the group is! While our GPS and tracks have worked well, the group ride and tracking others in the group has been intermittent. Talking with a Polaris ambassador yesterday we learned the 2023 gauges are experiencing this issue while the 2022’s are mostly not. Hopeful we get this resolved. The voyager seemed to work well with our 7S when our 7S were working correctly in group ride. Click to expand...

Cornfusion said: I use the ram tough claw and put it centered on the front side of the handlebars which seems to be the best place for it that we found, easy to see it and the gauge and is somewhat protected. The tough claw makes it easy to change between sleds. Click to expand...

I've been thinking about buying one for a while. May pull the trigger here pretty soon because I believe I could use it year round with my friends that have ride command in their rzrs. Sent from my SM-S901U1 using Tapatalk

I've ridden with a bunch of 7s displays this season and so far the group ride feature has worked 10% of the time. We've never had a ride when everyone could join. I don't even bother trying anymore.

96-ramair said: Hi @christopher , I put this in another thread, but you may want to check out Mountain Sledder Garage on Youtube. He does video overviews of installs on both Polaris and Doo sleds and different mounting approaches. He settles on using a UTV roll-bar RAM mount, with the roll-bar clamp placed around the handlebar riser, but you have other options. Personally, I plan to do it this way or install them on the door of the extended glovebox, like Doo does with Garmin. With more than one mount, I can move the "brain" from sled to sled.

Trail Tech Voyager Pro Review

If you like going out on trails on your dirt bike or adventure bike with your buddies, you must have come across the situations where you feel lost or left behind.

A good GPS device is what you need if you like going into the wild. The Trail Tech Voyager Pro is much more than a GPS device. Apart from excellent GPS navigation, It comes with other features like buddy tracker, speedometer, and Bluetooth connectivity to intercom units so that you can hear the voice navigation, control music, make calls, get your messages on the screen while you are talking to your buddies.

As far as the features go, The Voyager Pro has a lot more that we will be discussing further in this article.

The Trail Tech Voyager Pro comes with a 4-inch color screen, which is IP67 rated. Which means you don’t have to worry about the dust or water getting into it. Also, the screen has a very nice touch response, which works even with your gloves on.

The screen is easy to see in every light condition, day or night. In the daylight, the screen is bright enough and at night time it changes to dark mode and doesn’t blind you with the brightness.

Most of the time, you will be using the arrow buttons for navigation through menus and modes. But, for the times when you need to use the touch screen for zooming in or out of the maps, it is very smooth.

You can also select the TachBar Screen to show your speed and trip meter and temperature on the screen.

If you ask us, the screen mode you will be using the most is the map screen. You can select different gauges to be shown on the screen along with the map depending on your usage. For eg. When you are on a dirtbike, you will use different gauges and when you are on an adventure bike, you can select different gauges.

You also have the shortcuts on the map screen like logging, tracks, buddy tracking, waypoints. Which makes it very easy to navigate through different options.

One of the best features of the maps is that you can choose different colors for routes. Let’s say you are somewhere where you have multiple trails and you want to go on a particular trail and don’t want to lose directions. You can go ahead and select your route and color it so that it always stands out and your are always on track.

On the media screen, you can connect your phone and your helmet headset and you can then control your phone from the Voyager Pro. The music controls take up most of the screen, which is awesome and makes controlling your music easy. On the bottom of the screen you have other options from your phone like Dialer, Contacts, Messages.

Buddy Tracking

Buddy tracking is an awesome feature if you like going out with a group or your partner. With buddy tracker, you can connect upto 20 riders. You can see on the map where everyone is going.

In case your partner or buddies get ahead of you, you don’t have to worry because you will know where they are and you can follow their route on the map.

Another cool thing about the buddy tracker is the buddy tails. In the scenarios when you don’t have certain trails downloaded on your device and your buddy gets ahead of you and you feel like they are on the middle of nowhere. They will be leaving behind a tail that you can follow to get to them.

The buddy tracking feature also includes the emergency buddy beacon. In case of any emergency or break-down, if your buddy gets ahead of you, you can activate buddy beacon and your buddy will be notified and can get back to you easily and help you.

The range of the device is which is something variable and depends on a number of factors. In optimal conditions, you can get a range of up to 5 miles of range for buddy tracking. But, if you are in the canyons, the range can reduce depending on the area.

Battery Life

The battery life on the Voyager Pro is 3 hrs. To be honest, it is not too much. But, considering the fact that it has to be mounted on your bike and connected to the battery of your bike, the battery backup really doesn’t matter.

Miscellaneous

The Voyager Pro has some other cool features that are worth mentioning. One of the features we like is that you can set it to show an indicator light when you hit a certain temperature on the engine.

From a security point of view, It is an expensive device and can get stolen if you don’t take it off your bike. To make it more secure, you can lock the device to your bike with an Allen key, so no one can take it off while you are away from your bike.

The built of the device is also pretty solid. It doesn’t fall off even when your bike falls down or rolls down from a height. It is not break-proof but will last a long time unless you don’t ride in extreme conditions.

Final Verdict

After extensively testing the Trail Tech Voyager Pro, we realized that there was something that we were missing. The Voyager Pro makes riding in the trails much easier and the buddy tracker really helps stay with your friends. The buddy tracking feature is way better than Garmin’s basecamp.

If you are looking for a great GPS device, then this really something you should get. It surely is a little more expensive than the other products available in the market but for that price, it also delivers a lot more.
