Blank screen

Flying today and my Odyssey G2 went dead with no apparent power to the screen. Power wire has normal voltage.
Is there an internal fuse?
Is it serviceable by me?

Re: Issue with Voyager EFIS GPS.

Rainer, if it is ignition interference, would moving the antenna to the rear of the aircraft help?

Jeppesen Airspace

Hello all. I installed Jeppesen Navidata since MGL Navidata now lacks airport frequencies. Works fine except for Class B airspace here in Houston, Texas. I live under a 2000 foot Class B shelf.

At Matt's suggestion, I bought a new gps antenna and it seems to have solved the problem. $14 from ebay. Advertised as 26 db boost if I recall correctly. But just a simple matchbox size active antenna.

Re: Status of G2 firmware

Hello Adam
I have a G2 Odyssey. Can you tell us a little more about the upgrade. What is done, a processor upgrade? What are the benefits?

Re: Database update missing frequencies?

I tried the most recent navidata.ewd file and found no airport frequencies either. It sure is handy to be able to transfer frequencies from from airport info to the radio with a single push of a button.
