1 Introduction
Oudie 34.50
Company Naviter is dedicated to solving glider pilot's problems and Oudie 3 is one of the answers in this
challenge. It´s intended use is helping para-glider, hang glider and other pilots navigate during leisure,
cross country and competition flights.
Oudie 3 is a Personal Gliding Assistant which aims at providing everything a glider pilot needs in one
simple package. For this reason Oudie 3 have big bright sun readable screen, excellent vario and a large

launch.
Oudie 3 works great in combination with other Naviter products such as SeeYou for the PC, Soaring Spot
and others. It was designed to answer the question which was most frequently posted to us as "Why do
you not build the device for paraglider and hang glider pilots?"
Naviter is a Slovenian based software company. We focus on highly featured and easy to use software
for glider pilots. The needs of paraglider, hang glider and sailplane pilots worldwide are what we are
interested in.

2.2 Turning Oudie 3 on and off
To turn the Oudie 3 ON press the power button for 1 second. In order to prevent turning on the device by
accident you have to press the confirm button in five seconds.
To turn the Oudie 3 OFF, press the power button for 1 second while the device is running then choose
the desired action:
Power Off: will stop the navigation and turn off the device. You should do this before long term
storage. Battery should be at least 50% full before you store it for a long time.
Sleep: will turn off the screen, GPS, Bluetooth and power down the processor. The navigation will be
put on hold and the battery will drain very slightly. After switching back on you are ready for navigation
in just a few seconds. You should use the Sleep function when you are waiting to launch and want to
conserve the battery for example. It's ok to use Sleep over night as well. The battery drain is
negligible.
Cancel: will do nothing and return focus to navigation.
To reboot press the reset button on the back of the device.

2.3 Upgrading firmware
Upgrading the firmware on the Oudie 3 is as simple as downloading one file from www.oudie3.com,
saving it in the root of your Oudie's 3Resident Flash memory and resetting the Oudie 3.
If you need more instructions this is the whole procedure:
1. Download the Update executable from www.oudie3.com to your PC (or directly to Oudie, then skip
to #5):
2. Connect your Oudie to PC using the USB cable which was supplied in the box
3. Once connected, a PC icon is displayed on Oudie and new removable disk is available on the PC
(named TFAT)
4. Copy UpdateOudie.exe to the root of your Oudie drive (TFAT). Warning! Make sure it’s name not
“UpdateOudie (1).exe” or something. Browsers and Operating Systems want to interfere sometimes. File
name must be UpdateOudie.exe
5. Reset Oudie (or press and hold the On/Off key for 1 second and select “Power off” then power it
back on by holding the button for another second).
6. Wait until it boots into an Update dialog box
7. Press “Update” and wait until the process is finished

Connecting to the GPS
When the navigation device is turned on for the first time or after a long period of non-use, initialising the
integrated GPS receiver can take up to 40 minutes. Optimal conditions for problem-free and fast GPS
receptions are: having a clear view of the open sky, no high buildings immediately close by and
remaining in one place until the GPS position has been determined. The Navbox on the upper side of
the map will show you the GPS status (by default - you can change the navboxes later).
Map with symbols
This is where you will be looking for information all the time. You can do many things on the Map page:
You can move the map by dragging it. It will return to the position of the glider after 10 seconds
automatically or by pressing the Map orientation symbol.
You can move the Navboxes around the map to place then where you need them.
You can also tap on any symbol to bring up additional dialogs for:
. Map orientation by tapping on upper(North) arrow,
. Wind by tapping on the Wind vector,
. Map zoom by tapping on the Zoom button,
. Pan mode is a special mode where you can freely move around the map to explore some details
along the course.
. Move the glider (lower arrow ) if you tap on the glider.

. Moving on Map 2 by tapping on the Map 2 Navbox .
Tapping on a waypoint on the map gives you a list of Airspaces and Waypoints . Waypoints are
sorted on distance from the tap. This is a quick way to select a waypoint from a group of waypoints.
The Navboxes are what you will use to display the information you need. Be at waiting for Start gate,
Final glide, Navigation, Optimization or another issue, use Menu > Navboxes to select which items you
want displayed.
Command bar
holds 2 shortcuts to specific actions. In addition to the Command bar, actions are also assigned to any
hardware buttons on the Pocket PC. You can select which buttons do which actions through Menu >
Settings > Commands .
The default actions for software buttons from left to right (Command bar) are:
. Zoom
. Menu
Try the functions of these buttons.

Getting Started
2.5 Using vario
Oudie 3 features an excellent vario. It is the best vario you can find on the market. It is extremely
accurate and responsive at the same time.
You can control the audio settings of the vario on the Menu > Settings > Vario page. We went into a
lot of trouble fine tuning the vario sound. Make sure to try the default settings in the air before you
change them.
You can control the size and position of the Vario Symbol on the map. Simply drag it on the screen if you
wish to move it to a new position. Go to Menu > Settings > Symbols > Vario to change it size and
appearance. You can choose from a few different shapes for the vario, its transparency, size and more.
2.6 Copying files to Oudie 3
Copying files on the Oudie 3 similar to Upgrading the firmware . Just copy files in the root of your
Oudie's 3 Resident Flash memory when connected to PC with the supplied USB cable.
If you need more instructions this is the whole procedure:

2.7 Learning to use Oudie 3
There are two recommended ways to learn how to use Oudie 3 before you get airborne.
File replay
This is by far the most efficient way to learn Oudie 3 software. What it does is it replays an already flown
flight and enables you to see the data you would have been looking at if you had Oudie 3 with you on the
particular flight.
In order to set this up, copy some of your flights from the desktop PC to your device. Then go to Menu >
Settings > Input , then change input to "File". Press the "..." button and choose a flight you wish to
replay. Now use the buttons to change Waypoints, MacCready and pages. Tap on the screen to see what
happens and setup Navboxes to what you want them to be. Note that you can setup Navboxes
separately for each of the two Map pages.
Simulator
In the Simulator input mode, you can move the glider freely even without a prerecorded flight which
enables you to go places you haven't visited in the air yet. To move the glider, tap on it, then drag a line
out of the glider in the direction you want it to move. The longer the line, the faster it will go in the
specified direction.
By learning how to use Oudie 3 software on the ground you will have more time to think about gliding,
task and scenery in the air. It is warmly recommended.

2.8 Using Profiles with Oudie 3
If you feel no need to use more than one set of Navboxes or fly more than one type of gliders ignore
this feature and go read the next chapter.

If however you fly several types of gliders at different
locations you are likely to be fed up with changing the
polar, terrain, waypoint and airspace files each time
before the flight. Profiles were added in Oudie 3
software. You can have separate setups for each of
your gliders or type of flying. Here's how it works.
1. When you first ran Oudie 3, a Default profile was
created. Anything you have changed in the application
was stored to this profile. Now comes a day when you
fly the another glider with a significantly different polar
than the one you have used previously. To avoid
entering the polar, header and hardware data each
time you go fly this glider, you may create a new profile
by going to Menu > Settings > Miscellaneous and
click the "Add Profile..." button.

Getting started 15

2. You get to choose to either
. Copy current profile (which makes an exact copy of
your current settings),
. Create a new profile (which creates a copy of the
default settings).
You may give the new profile a name according to what
you are going to use it for. Be it "RACE", "XC" or "Hike
and fly glider".

Oudie 316
© 2003 - 2013 ... Naviter d.o.o.
3. Next time you start Oudie 3 you will have two (or
more) profiles to choose from. You have 10 seconds to
select a profile. If you do nothing, the profile you used
last is loaded.
4. After you have loaded the profile for the first time
you will want to set it up according to your preferences.
Here is a handful of settings you will probably want to
change before use:
Links to Terrain, Airspace and Waypoint files
Pilot name and Glider type settings
Navboxes for Map1
Navboxes for Map2

2.9 How Airspace warning works
Avoiding forbidden airspace is often just as important as navigating in general. It can however be much
trickier than finding the right valley since the airspace structure is very abstract and often complicated.
Oudie 3 will be your best friend if you use the whole potential of what it's got to offer.
