What device type do you use in ConnectMe to transfer a flight file out
of an Oudie? *A friend just got one, and the Oudie doesn't show up as
one of the supported devices.

You don't transfer flights out of the Oudie with ConnectMe. It is not
a logger/flight computer it is a PNA, i.e. equivalent to the PDA.

You get flight logs onto the Oudie by running ConnectMe on the Oudie
and it then connects to a computer/logger and you can specify those
device types.

Most people will copy the flight logs on the Oudie (either the ones
created by SeeYou Mobile itself or transferred to the Oudie via
ConnectMe) by simply physically moving the SD card containing the
flight log to your laptop, PC or whatever. More sophisticated users
might transfer files over networks etc. but "sneaker net" with SD card
is where I would start.

OK, more details he did a flight without a SD card installed which was
saved somewhere in internal memory, and was trying to copy it to a
microSD card after the fact. *I assume there's some other utility or
file explorer to do that?

I'm surprised you're calling it just a PDA, it's got a GPS and can log
flights, albeit not securely.

It is a PNA (personal navigation assistant) -- because that is what it
technically exactly is. The Oudie is a Windows CE OEM manufactured PNA
with SeeYou Mobile "PNA Version" with some minor tweeks and all
packaged to make it easy for folks to use. A Windows CE PNA is similar
to a PDA, runs Windows CE not Windows Mobile but they are close. It is
not an IGC approved logger, and it's not a flight computer in my mind
especially since it has no direct pitot/TE etc. input. The on-board
logging capability is no different than SeeYou Mobile say running on a
PDA with a CF card GPS. In fact if you want the Oudie to deliver all
it can you connect it to a flight computer (like a Cambridge 302) and
then it receives TAS etc. data from the C302 and able to do better
wind calculations etc. And unlike a real flight computer the Oudie and
similar devices have no hope of being able to calculate a fast enough
accurate speed to fly (only an issue for those who think it's
necessary to chase STF that much).

I do not have an Oudie, I have the SeeYou Mobile PNA version on my
iPAQ 310 PNA and the SeeYou Mobile PDA version on other PDAs. Many
Windows CE installations have a "Windows Explorer" executable you can
run that will let you copy/paste files around. I am not sure what
exactly is packaged with the Oudie. But whatever you are after it is
not ConnectMe, that goes the other way. And if you find that you will
need to look in SeeYou Mobile Settings to work out where it put the
log file. Some Windows CE PNA devices can also connect via USB and
appear as an external USB drive. I also do that with my iPAQ 310
connecting to Windows XP (running in a virtual machine on a
Macintosh).

But bottom line is I don't know what other connectivity besides
(micro)SD card sneaker-net that the Oudie easily supports. Maybe an
Oudie owner has a quick answer for this.
