Default See You Mobile Declared Task Pilot Name

Hi John,

Wade is correct. In some versions of SeeYou Mobile, for licensing reasons,
the pilot name field in the Log screen can't be changed from the name on the
license. That is done in versions that are licensed to a pilot name in
recent years. Unfortunately, in some parts of the world, many glider pilots
share their software licenses. This is Naviter's way of blocking that. It
makes sense to me. But it is a bummer in this situation.

Oudie owners don't have that issue because the license is tied to the serial
number of the Oudie.

Is there any chance Wade can get the glider owner to buy an Oudie? : ) It
would work fine for him then. If not, then I recommend sending an email to
Naviter explaining the situation. They may be able to help. Or, better
yet, post the question on their support forum.

Best Regards,

Paul Remde

Have you tried following the instructions in the manual to
change the pilot name, glider details and polar - then exit and
save the profile? My registered SYM is happy to accept Mickey
Mouse being named as the pilot - it just adds another name to
the drop down list in Menu/Settings/Log.

I'm going to stick my neck out and say that your initial

premise=20
=20
that it is the registered SYM name that is sent to the logger

with=20
=20
the declaration is wrong. Copied and pasted from the

SYM=20
=20
manual section on task declaration:
=20
=20
=20
"After the communication is established, the following data

is=20
=20
transferred automatically
=20
to the flight recorder:
=20
Declared task in SeeYou Mobile which you have entered

in=20
=20
Menu Task

Glider information which is entered in Menu Settings

Polar=20
=20
(glider type) and Menu Settings Log
=20
(glider registration)
=20
Pilot name as entered in Menu Settings Log"
=20
=20
=20
So, if the manual is correct, all you should have to do is

alter=20
=20
the pilot details to your own in Menu/Settings/Log for

your=20
=20
badge flight and remember to change them back to the

owner's=20

when you return the PDA.
