Correct, Oudie is still using the Atlas chipset which provides inaccurate
and often very wrong position while doing tight turns at our gliding speed
ranges, but offers also better performances.
This means no wind calculated, at all, if someone think about using the
internal gps.
If you connect it to an external source, it is of course just fine and
faster.
I think both prices are appealing, and Naviter is doing a good offer.

The Oudie 2 Lite is available and runs the free programs.
I have several customers that replaced the V2 with the Oudie 2 Lite and
say the Oudie is a much nicer unit and when you finally get the cabling
and power converters for the V2 the Oudie is less expensive.

Hi Richard. It seems surprising that anyone has yet moved on from the V2
since it only became available quite late in the 2012 soaring season. They
must have been really disappointed with the V2 to move on from it
immediately, whereas I have not previously heard of anyone being
disappointed with the V2/GliderGuider. What do these customers find that the
Oudie 2 Lite does better than the V2?
In the UK, the GliderGuider comes for £265 including interface cables and
carry case. The Oudie 2 Lite comes for £294, including interface cables but
not carry case - in both cases plus shipping.
I bought a GliderGuider to replace my Oudie 1, rather than upgrading the
Oudie to a brighter screen. I wanted the GG for the aviation optimised
internal gps - more accurate positions while thermalling should mean better
wind calculations, and better calculations of everything which depends on
wind. I can see benefits of the Oudie but I would recommend the GG or
equivalent to those expecting to use the internal gps.
I am generally very pro Naviter - excellent software and good support. I am
using SeeYou Mobile on the GliderGuider rather than the free alternatives.
