Trail Tech Launches Feature-Packed GPS for ADV Riders

When it comes to (the dark art of) dirt bike electronics, Trial Tech is widely regarded as a frontrunner in the industry. With the release of their long-awaited Voyager Pro GPS system though, they might secure their place at the head of the pack.

The new Voyager Pro is a nifty piece of technology that packs more promise than any GPS product we’ve seen in a while. Are we excited? You bet! Beyond the unit’s standard GPS capabilities that include pre-loaded topographic maps and the ability to record waypoints, it also boasts some enticing new features like buddy tracking and an emergency beacon.

The upgraded color display offers maps with topo and hillshading. Other features include buddy tracking, bluetooth connectivity, tracks, routes, waypoints and more.

The Voyager Pro represents an exciting progression in Trail Tech’s digital gauge lineup. Its predecessor — the Voyager — was an off-road-specific unit with a limited range functionality targeted to dirt bikes. Wheel, temperature, power and tachometer sensors were included with these units and offered supplemental information to go along with its prime function as a GPS unit. The Voyage ‘Pro’ is poised to be a real evolution, offering the same favorite features as the Voyager, while expanding on them with a larger glove friendly 4″ color display and an array of new capabilities.

GPS Capabilities

Color topographical maps displayed on a large glare-resistant screen, support tracks, routes, and waypoints with the ability to plan and record entire trail systems. You are also able to import and export GPX files from the unit for simplified map sharing with friends. The ability to customize map layer colors and set waypoints as destinations further enhances the unit’s usefulness on the trail. The unit also displays a graph of the sky and visible GPS satellites in orbit with corresponding strength signals.

What’s more, the Voyager Pro has the ability to track up to 20 buddies on a map while you ride and has an emergency beacon feature. Details are still scarce on how they plan to implement these two features but if executed correctly, they could be a real game-changer for adventure riders.

Vehicle Data

User configurable screens utilize sensor and GPS input to keep you informed on your motorcycle’s vitals and the status of your ride. The unit displays speed, temperature (ambient/internal), distance, elevation and voltage.

Bluetooth Connectivity

The dedicated “Media Screen” allows you to control song playback on your phone, adjust headset volume, switch music sources, manage intercom communication, and access phone dialing, call history and messaging features. This is especially exciting for Sena Bluetooth Headset users as this unit was designed specifically to integrate with their products.

The new Trail Tech Voyager Pro integrates with your phone via Bluetooth. It is also compatible with Sena Bluetooh headsets.

For accessories, Trail Tech says they will offer additional vehicle sensors, GPS antennas, and other power cables to help you get the most out of the Voyager Pro. Like other Trail Tech parts, this new unit will be compatible with popular RAM mounting systems.

With the release of the new Voyager Pro, Trail Tech is now venturing into the broader realm of ADV, Touring and Street riding. If their success in dirt bike GPS technology is any indicator, we expect their latest device will have a lot to offer these new markets. We eagerly await the opportunity to get our hands on one for testing to see if its ready for the big stage.
