The Naviter SeeYou Oudie N is a cutting-edge navigation device designed to enhance the flying experience for glider pilots.  Packed with advanced features and a user-friendly interface, this instrument has become a game-changer in the world of soaring, especially if you’re looking for something compatible with any glider or to complement your other main soaring device.  Let’s delve into the benefits that make the Oudie N a must-have for glider enthusiasts.

Position, Altitude, and Speed

First and foremost, the N provides pilots with precision navigation tools, offering accurate information about their position, altitude, and speed, which is stored as a flight file for later flight analysis. The device integrates GPS technology, ensuring that pilots have real-time data to make informed decisions during their flights.  This level of accuracy is crucial for glider pilots who navigate through the skies with a precise understanding of their position relative to the terrain, airspace, and task parameters, making it paramount for safety and efficient flight planning.

Logbook

One of the features that I also love about it, is that not only can it be taken from your own personal glider into a two-seater for coaching purposes, or into a hired glider at another site, is the wonderful automatic logbook tool it has.  Any flight you make with it stores the log file in a logbook format, which shows your flight trace, statistics, and analysis through SeeYou.cloud at any later date!

The device has an intuitive touchscreen interface which is another noteworthy advantage.  Pilots can easily customise their display, selecting the information most relevant to their preferences and flight conditions.  It also enhances user interaction, allowing for quick and efficient adjustments while in flight.  What does all this mean? It enhances their situational awareness and overall flying experience greatly.

Situational Awareness

Another standout feature of the N is its compatibility with various external sensors through the Bluetooth dongles that are available, not only that, but it can connect to the internet for live satellite pictures.  OGN can be displayed on the screen for supreme situational awareness with gliders around you, as well as a rain radar, plus it allows integration with SkySight.io for weather predictions enroute.  The sky is the limit when it comes to development of this device, it’s endless with its features and features still to be implemented.

Portable

In terms of design, the Oudie N is crafted with durability and portability in mind. Its robust construction ensues resilience against the challenges of the airfield, and the varying weather conditions in the cockpit and surroundings. The devices compact size makes it easy to mount in the cockpit with its custom mount supplied with the device, which gives an unobstructed and streamlined flying experience.

The Naviter SeeYou Oudie N stands out as a top-tier navigation device for all glider pilots, offering a range of benefits that enhance safety, navigation, and overall flying enjoyment.  The best thing yet, is that if you’re unable to buy the Oudie N in full, then you can download the free app on your phone, called: SeeYou Navigator – try it today!
