The Oudies Have Arrived

Hi,

I just received my first batch of Naviter Oudies. They are very nice!
There are many small software tweaks that make them easier to use. For
example, when selecting the comm port (the default is the internal GPS) the
selection list includes text which clarifies how each port is used (COM 1:
Internal, COM 4: Serial, etc.).
http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/seeyou.htm

All 30 of the units received today have already been sold, but many more are
on the way to me which should arrive next week. They have not all been sold
yet.

The supplied serial cable works well with a 302 or GPS-NAV but has nuts on
the connector, so a straight through cable is required to connect it to a
GPS-NAV. I have them in stock (see link below). The nuts can be removed,
but then there is no simple way to secure it to the GPS-NAV. I feel that it
is important that a secure connection is made because you wouldn't want it
to fall off in flight. The 12V power leads must be powered for the cable to
work. It supplies 5V power to the Oudie and also has a built-in RS-232
voltage level converter. I recommend this cable for use with the Cambridge
GPS-NAV.
http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/cai_prices.htm#HA-349

For the Cambridge 302 and other devices I recommend the Oudie-PS5a-1 cable
because they pass 5V power from the 302 to the Oudie. The 302 seems to
provide enough power for the Oudie as long as the Oudie is fully charged or
nearly so.

Hi Paul,

Does it run the Cambridge flight download utility?
I know it will have ConnectMe but I was curious about running the
Cambridge software.

I think that it is more readable because it is larger than the current
PNA devices. But compared to the Craggy Aero Ultimate not.

Hi Bob,

I don't know for certain. The unit is setup to be specific to running
Mobile and ConnectMe. I don't see an easy way to access Windows File
Explorer to run the Cambridge 300 Utility and I don't know whether File
Explorer is even installed in the unit. It is possible to copy files to the
Oudie, but I can't see a way to run them.

SeeYou ConnectMe will work fine, except that it can't check the flight log
security after download.

Best Regards,

Hi Mike,

I brought my Oudie out into bright sunlight today. I didn't have my iPAQ
310 with me at the time. The Oudie was OK in sunlight. Like all PDAs and
PNAs it is not great in sunlight, but it seemed a lot better than my iPAQ
hx4700. It is nothing like a ClearNav in regard to sunlight readability,
but it costs a lot less than a ClearNav.

My iPAQ 310 is for sale for $195.

Bob,

To run the CAI utility the correct nav path would have to be set and
certain .dlls would need to be auto installed. This is something we
would probably have to ask SeeYou to do.

I have the Ultimate running the CAI Utility, but I have much more
access to the operating system and the registry on the Ultimate.

Richard

Thanks Paul, thanks Richard,
I'm sure you will playing with these units in the days to come and
reporting back.

ConnectMe works a charm with the only snag being that it produces a
'Grey' score line on the OLC.
Maybe this is something the OLC people can fix or Naviter might look
at including the ability to run the Cambridge utility.

Hi Bob,

I think you are doing something wrong in the flight log download. A flight
log downloaded by ConnectMe is exactly the same as a flight log downloaded
by the 300 Utility. I suspect that you are submitting a flight log
generated by the SeeYou Mobile "PDA logger".
