Default Software for flight planning????

I attended the NW Aviation Conference and Trade Show in Puyallup, WA, on
Feb 25 and watched an EXTENSIVE demo of the Voyager software by Seattle
Avionics. In the demo, I quizzed them in such a way that they planned
my route home from 1S0-HIO-SLE twice, using separate routings and
features. I was sufficiently impressed to purchase the product with an
update subscription for special show price of about $200 (US). Normal
price would be about $250 for the same package. I purchased it because
of their willingness to show me the product thoroughly, the feature sets
offered by the software, and the price. I would not have necessarily
purchased anything this expensive had I not been able to play with it
like I had. They do offer a free trial period to use the software. I
think it was 10 days or something like that. Fully functional.

Disclaimer: I have no relationship with Seattle Avionics, other than
having the experience shown above at the NWAC&TS in Puyallup. As with
everything, YMMV.


You might be quite disappointed with the performance you get away from the
show site (I'm assuming they had a T-1 or better connection at the
convention site) as some have noted it's performance can overwhelm even the
biggest and bestest PCs along with Cable or DSL.
