As an alternative - take a look at www.gliderguider.net
It runs mSeeYou, LK-8000 and more!

Does the Oudie 2 still have the track smoothing problem?

These are nice units - appear to be essentially the same as the Oudie 2 with possibly a better internal GPS (no "smoothing" issue)

That being said - I'm using an Oudie 2, both with external GPS and vario data in my LS6 and as a standalone nav unit in club gliders, and I'm really happy with it - the screen is fully readable even in bright Arizona sunlight, and while the internal GPS does have a bit of a problem while thermalling, it's still fully usable for navigation and final glides. Biggest effect I've noticed is that thermalling circles are a bit jagged - but with no vario input, SYM is pretty weak as a thermalling aid anyway.

As far as price - broadly speaking, by the time you get all the bits and pieces put together, the difference is the price of the software (Duh!). I've been using SYM for several years now and really like it; having played around with LK8000 (pretty, but way too many numbers that I don't need or want to see!) and XCSoar (pretty, but still can't setup the display the way I want, and it does things I don't want without a way to shut them off) it was a no-brainer to go with the O2 and stay with SYM. Also, those other devices are still not shipping yet!

But if you like LK or XCS (and they are both impressive software with some features I hope SYM will copy soon), then these other systems make a lot of sense - and the smoothed GPS could be a decider if it was going to be mainly a standalone unit.

It's all fun stuff!

I dont know Richard, but if its using the *Atlas GPS chipset there is no
way to dissable Track Smoothing (and a bunch of other stuff).

Kind regards

Only Atlas GSD4t chipsets have this problem.
It is not true that all Atlas GPS are affected.
You should ask Naviter to be sure.

I have seen the display on this unit at Glider Guider and it is very
readable even in bright light.

Having flown around 10 hours using the Vertica V1 with LK8000 in bright
sunlight (mostly) wearing sunglasses I can report it was highly readable
the whole time- as good as paper.

Reputedly the Vertica V2 uses the same screen as GliderGuider, and is
probably the same device sold through a different channel. As mentioned in
a previous post, it's promised by the end of August. My experience of
Vertica as a supplier (and the work I know is being done by the LK8000
team) suggests the promise will be met.
