anyone have experience with the trailtech voyager pro? looking for good or bad before a guy drops some money on one.
I emailed them and sounds like 1.5miles depending on terrainAnyone know the range for the buddy tracking? Been trying to find that info
Do you know anyone that could provide the hardware and install it for a BrahThey are great, and the range is decent. Also, nice to have the option to put them on your summer toys as well. Great way to put on miles, when you can see everyone moving on your screen. There is an alert button in the event of an accident. Once pushed, all the guys in your group get a flashing red signal on the screen.
You will need to add some sort of small battery when you rig it in, as the one in the unit only last 15min ish. I installed a similar one to the one below. I wired it into the usb kit for charging and had to run a diode as the power back-fed into the gauge cluster, and it remained on when the sled was turned off.

Make sure you get the Voyager Pro. I know Canadian tire is running out of them, and they said they didn't know they would get more.I was planning on gettIng the NS1 for the new Doo https://www.nextstagegauges.com/ns1-gauge-system/gauge-face-features
but…. I’ve tried numerous times trying to contact them however no luck… so probably go with Voyager
I ran the ns1 on the sidewinder. And considered it again. Only reason I didn’t was cause of the buddy tracking range I heard was not good. And need android phone if don’t have the gauge. Other than that it was great. I ordered the voyager cause will work on the snow bike to. Hopefully it’s decentI was planning on gettIng the NS1 for the new Doo https://www.nextstagegauges.com/ns1-gauge-system/gauge-face-features

Good point!! I got a Voyager pro at Cambodian Rubber today!! Thanks Snoflake there cheap $996 green backs and is 20 times better than the new Doo 10.25 .. kidding about the cheap lolI ran the ns1 on the sidewinder. And considered it again.

If you don't mind me asking but What size diode did you use? Any chance you could draw up a crude wiring diagram lol? Can you power the unit straight from the usb connection like this? Just trying to figure out how to power the gps unit without a battery. Its not a big deal if the gps is not on while the sled is off. I would prefer it to be on for a little bit but I can make do without.They are great, and the range is decent. Also, nice to have the option to put them on your summer toys as well.

You will want the battery. I’m not entirely sure why, but the power coming from the sled does not seem to keep the GPS powered/charged all the time. See sketch below on how I have rigged the last 6 sleds in our group.If you don't mind me asking but What size diode did you use? Any chance you could draw up a crude wiring diagram lol?
