Default Oudie - ConnectMe question

Oops... Sorry! Was thinking of SeeYou on a regular PNA.

I believe that when you exit SeeYou it throws you out to an Explorer

Thanks for the replies, understand the product bettter now. Any
thoughts of doing a product in the future that includes a secure
logger?

From my very short time playing with it, it seems like there were just
two options presented after bootup, running SeeYou or ConnectMe. Is
the user prevented from accessing WIndows, or is there a way to get
into it? The owner of course was just hoping to leave the unit at the
airport, and not bring a laptop along to get the log. Does SeeYou
Mobile let you configure to store the flight in a SD card, or is it
hardwired for the location in internal memory? Forgive the basic
questions, I don't use PDA's myself and haven't used SeeYou Mobile.

Oudie is supposed to be simple. Therefore you do this:

1. Connect Oudie to PC with the supplied USB cable (or any standard
USB cable for that matter)

2. Tap the "Connect to PC" button on Oudie screen

3. Oudie mounts as external disk to your PC. You can browse it exactly
like a USB stick. The flights are stored in the "Flights" folder in
the root of the Oudie Resident Flash memory.

No SD Card required.

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.

Darryl

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.

Dave

I haven't played with an Oudie yet, but based on my experience with
Mobile SeeYou I believe you have to use File Explorer in Windows CE.
I don't know if the Oudie allows you to launch Windows CE apps like
File Explorer, but if it does and you had the Oudie configured to
create an IGC file during the flight, then it should be stored either
in the root directory or in a Documents folder, perhaps in a Flights
folder residing at either of those levels.

Connect Me is not a file management system for the local Windows
device, so it won't help you in this instance. Connect Me is
exclusively for moving files to and from loggers connected via the
serial port on you Windows device. Since the logging function of the
Oudie is part of the software, not a serial-connected hardware device,
it won't show up in Connect Me's device selection window. *Whatever
you get it won't be secure - you're right about that.

It's a guess - hope it helps.
