Hi Kirk,

I recently heard of the BGA decision to disallow the use of the Oudie's
internal GPS for their contests. I don't know why exactly.

It is my understanding that it is only related to using the Oudie's internal
GPS.

The Oudie has never been and probably never will be approved by the IGC -
because it is a PNA.

It is strange because I have sold dozens or perhaps even hundreds of Oudies
to customers that are using the internal GPS and very happy with it. I've
flown with the Oudie when using its internal GPS and I was happy with it.

I have sent a note to Andrej at Naviter for clarificiation of the issue and
the potential to get it resolved in the long run.

Appreciate the reply. I guess I'm curious if this "issue" is limited to the new Bright Oudie or is a legacy problem. There have been discussions about other devices recently that addressed a problem with the GPS chipset and software that was causing track problems and delaying delivery of systems.

Cheers,

Kirk
