Last year I made my license and I wanted to buy a flight computer over the winter period to get ready for the new season. Made my research and ended up with a LX nano + XCSoar on a Android phone. Additionally, I bought a 10000mAh power bank and a non-reflective screen protector for the phone. The visibility of the phone in direct sunlight is now almost the same as an Oudie. And that is a fraction of the cost of an Oudie IGC with the same or even better functionality. :)

As a programmer i am stunned anything still works on CE. It was not great when it came out. Kudos to Naviter for being able to keep it going. One other reason for a new system rather than any updating of the old code, they would have a horrible time finding programmers who would work on that old stuff.

Hello Pure .
Can you do an update on your view of the 'Seeyou Navigator v3.2.0' .
Are you now happier with all the updates and especially the Contest & Task Flighing & ICG Logging or approved logging. ipad support
It would be a good video, especially as your videos are followed here in the UK too.
Thankyou Pure Glide & keep going.

I totally agree with your review. Just add my personal experience in using CU Navigator as a back up in a recent flight (I use an Oudie and SYM connected to a Nano): it drained completely my phone's battery in less than a couple of hour. The missing competition/task features are a great minus right now, and probably Naviter wants to delay them because it will likely mean the death of Oudie/classical SYM. Also, I still have many doubts about using continuatively a smartphone in the hot summer days here in Italy. Great app, anyway. Thanks for reviewing! P.S.: Since last season and for many years, I've been using LK8000, great software, but less "professional" than SeeYou.

Tim you missed a very important safety issue. Navigator v2 only measures the glide to a landing at zero macready - ie you are never going to make it. I contacted naviter about this, they are working on adding adjustable safety macready One way around this problem is to choose an ancient glider from then list like a Balanik . Naviter are unwise to release the software without a warning about this.

When I purchased my glider last fall, I was looking for a soaring app to fly with before committing to a more sophisticated glide computer, then I discovered SeeYou Navigator. I used it for a while and it's great! It's super user friendly and is likely going to become more popular as features are added and utility improves over time.

I recently tried out XCSoar and now see why it has such a big following, what a great piece of software! I haven't been using these types of navigation tools for very long, but it's great to see the variety and utility of each of them.

We pronounce it not Audi as in the motor car! Great little video as usual thanks for posting!

4:00 Regarding zooming; on android phones a common shortcut for zooming on maps is to doubletap+drag up/down. Works great for 1 handed operation. May want to see if it works for this app too!

[timtennant]

Thanks Tim for another great video. I've been using SeeYou navigator for a couple of weeks, and was looking for a good video to help me configure and set it up, this video was a great intro to that. However, it seems that this app has come on quite a lot since you did this video, would be great if you were to revisit it and do an update.

[Tglider]

Might be time for a follow up video. The Oudie N is out and more changes have been made to See You Navigator including tasking.

[albertxabi]

I tried Seeyou, it's really great, very good disply, the only issu is there is no sound for variometer on IOS, I hope Naviter can do it in the futur !

[bevobus]

So is the new Oudie N basically just their Android running this software or is it anything more? Thanks for all the videos BTW and I love the shirt!!

[jasonmcconathy]

Thx for the demo.
I don’t see an option to set a McCready value? Also no terrain - altitude cross section view?
Two pretty essential features.

I am doing some serious experiments with the Raspberry Pi 4B and OpenGL (interfaced through GLFW)... It is giving surprisingly good results. I am programming the application by myself in Ada and using 3D printed parts. I would post the link to my blog, but google refuses to post my comment then :-D The idea is to open source it...

[markburton]

I expect Naviter are holding back the missing features to protect remaining sales of the Oudie. In due course I expect they will market a new Android device offering advantages over a phone as a platform for this application. Currently it does not stand up against XC Soar because of the missing features, nor against the Oudie IGC which gives approved logging, an all day battery, a backup vario, and what I subjectively find to be still the best glide computer program. I've been playing with it but still flying with my Oudie IGC alongside my LX9000.

[wildflyparagliding]

So one year has passed. What do you think of the new Oudie N? :)

[soaringhal]

Looks really good, should be an excellent for the casual pilot / club glider :)
Might look into paying the subscription in order to test the Skysight overlay options!

In my glider (LS6) I have a 7" Openvario flight computer and operate it using the buttons/hats switch on my control stick. The first revelation was the map/screen, the second was adding remote stick control, making the in-cockpit workflow a literal breeze :D Prior to that I used LX Colibri and iPaq and removing that clutter was a bonus.

Happy flying!

[rickdeckard]

Now there is a task option. I used it last summer during a contest works great and you can download form Seeyou cloud

[franksaxton]

I found this a very useful video thanks, and look forward to a video on xc soar. One feature I appreciate in my current Oudie setup is the pito data input that enables accurate wind speed calculation and readout. This pito data of mine comes down a wire from a Borgelt B500. How would I replicate this to my android smartphone?

[glidermac]

I believe Naviter have updated the system but I don't see much help with manuals. Would you consider doing an update with set-up guidance?
