Hi John,

I sell the LXNAV V7 also. It is a very, very nice variometer. It will work
fantastically with a Nano and Oudie. I have not received my first batch
yet, so I can't give you a first-hand review yet. But I should receive them
very soon. I have played with the very similar V5 variometer a lot.

Yes. The V7 will pass GPS (and FLARM) data through the V7 to any PDA.

Yes. The V7 will add air data (airspeed, variometer, wind, etc.) and send
it to the PDA.

Yes. You can send a task declaration from an Oudie through the V7 to the
Nano.

However, it is not possible to download a flight log from a Nano over the
serial port because the Nano doesn't support that functionality. If it did,
you could do it through the V7. The idea is to take the Nano home. I don't
know whether it will support flight log downloads over the serial port in
the future. That would be a nice feature for customers that want to leave
the Nano in the glider. Theoretically, you could take the microSD card out
of the Nano and take it home for flight log transfers. But the Nano manual
strongly recommends leaving the microSD card in the Nano permanently.

I have a preliminary version of the V7 manual which I have read from cover
to cover. If it is not up on their web site yet, it will be soon.

I'll finally get the V7 onto my web site today.

Best Regards,

It is my great pleasure to announce a new product by LXNAV, V7.

V7 is a standalone digital speed-to-fly variometer and final glide
calculator with GPS input and PDA/PNA input/output. It is a great
companion to the Ultimate Le, Oudie, PDA or PNA.

If the V7 is connected to a simple GPS (e.g. a Nano) and an Oudie
will the V7 mix and pass through air data from itself with the NMEA
data stream from the GPS?

Would ConnectMe in the Oudie be able to download datalogger traces
from the Nano through the V7 without altering the connections.

If it does both of the above it is effectively an up to date 302
replacement.
