Default Oudie2 units now shipping

Hi,

The first batches of the new brighter Oudie2 units are shipping today from
Slovenia. I will get all the back-ordered units shipped out to customers
over the next week or 2.

If you have an Oudie that you want to get upgraded at Naviter, I will be
sending a batch of units from my office this Friday, May 4th. Please let me
know if you are sending a unit to me.

Best Regards,

Paul, any comment on the "rumor" that the Oudie internal GPS has a problem inflight?

"Due to GPS positioning fix errors generated by the Oudie internal GPS engine, making it fall outside the required specification for approval as in IGC position recorder, the recent BGA approval for use as a position recorder (January 2012) has unfortunately been cancelled with immediate effect". http://www.gliding.co.uk/bgainfo/competitions/news.htm

As long as it isn't a problem on external GPS it's more of an annoyance for me, but still one hopes it would be fixed, if true.
