The Basic model takes away competition functionality and options that might overwhelm the less experienced pilot. With a simple software update available to unlock all the features as you progress, your learning curve will be as short as possible.
Built on the same hardware and SeeYou software platform as the Oudie 5 Pro, the stripped-down Oudie 5 XC is aimed at the competent XC pilot and the ambitious beginner who knows where they want to get to.
FANET+, FANET or FLARM?
- FLARM is a proprietary system for Traffic awareness, collision avoidance, identification and tracking for General Aviation and UAVs i.e. It helps prevent things from hitting you, and you hitting things.
- FANET (Flying Ad-hoc NETwork) is a lower-cost method of transmitting position and sharing information, but not for collision avoidance, as that is a FLARM patent. i.e. It helps your others, including your buddies, know where you are, and you know where others are.
- FANET+ is a combination of a FANET transceiver and a FLARM transmitter. i.e. FANET + FLARM (Tx) aka a "FLARM Beacon" i.e. It helps prevent things hitting you, but not you hitting things.
Sunlight readable LCD with Touch panel
Oudie 5 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.

Reviews

‘I have been so impressed with everything to do with Naviter: The Oudie 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.’
– Guy Andersom, top UK XC pilot, British paragliding team & PWC pilot
‘Whether I use it for competitions or for XC-flights, the Oudie 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 to friends!’
– Michael Sigel, Swiss League pilot and top competition pilot
‘Thanks to my new Oudie 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. It is a great instrument, perfect for competition with large radiuses and arrivals at goal with very little height, I’m very happy.’
– Francisco Javier Reina after the PWC Superfinal
‘Oudie 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.’
– Charles Cazaux, World Champion
