Oudie 3 works great in combination with other Naviter products such as SeeYou software, Soaring Spot website and others. It was developed with the help of top pilots to answer the question: "Why don't you build a device for paraglider and hang-glider pilots?"

Sunlight readable LCD with Touch panel 

Oudie 3 has a bright LCD which is a significant improvement over the standard colour LCDs available in similar devices elsewhere. The screen has an anti-glare coating and is nicely sunlight readable even in direct sunlight. The touch panel can be operated with gloves, no problem.

What pilots say about Oudie 3:

Charles Cazaux, World Champion with Team France and overall vice World Champion:

"Oudie 3 is the device I was looking for. A very nice Variometer and a complete GPS with all the information I need to make top performance in Competition and Cross Country. Easy setting of the task, a nice screen and unlimited settings to create your own page. I like it!"

Michael Sigel, Swiss League pilot and top competition pilot:

"Whether I use it for competitions or for XC-flights, the Oudie 3 is a really good instrument. Light weight, easy to handle and with a long lasting battery. Software and device are of very high quality and that's the reason why I recommend Oudie 3 to friends!"

Francisco Javier Reina explains how his Oudie 3 helped him win the PWC Superfinal:

"Thanks to my new Oudie 3 I optimized my flights better than ever, being able to see the radius of the cylinder at all times, with ease of use. It was my first competition with Oudie 3. It is a great instrument, perfect for competition with large radiuses and arrivals at goal with very little height, I'm very happy."

Guy Anderson, top UK XC pilot, British paragliding team & PWC pilot:

"I have been so impressed with everything to do with Naviter: The Oudie 3 is head and shoulders the best instrument for XC and comps, the after sales support is faultless and they are the nicest people to deal with... perfect! Anyone serious about flying paragliders should have one of these."

Richard Osborne, UK: "I absolutely love my Oudie, it has transformed my flying experience."
