Default Is it best to use an Oudie with a Calibri II or a LX Nano....?

It depends a little on what your needs are.

.. Both loggers will send NMEA data to Oudie
.. Both Companies (LX Nav and LX Navigation) offer cables for simple
direct connection of their loggers to Oudie

So there is no problem for basic navigation.

If the following communication features are important to you then
these may be important differences:

.. It is possible to download flight from Nano to Oudie. Colibri II
does not have this feature.
.. It is possible to upload flight declaration to Nano from Oudie. It's
not possible to do that with Colibri II.
.. It is very easy to connect Oudie to Nano by Bluetooth - no cables.
There is no Bluetooth in Colibri II.

There is a conversation about this at the Naviter Support forum:

Please note that we are not affiliated with either company.

Good afternoon,


I am a budding cross country pilot that is trying to work on the best
flight logger to pair up to my Oudie for recording my flights for the
BGA ladder and also for competitions and badge claim flights.


The system that I use needs to be mobile as I do not want it hard-
wired into the glider.


I am going to use a USB power pack, something like socket mobile
that lasts for 10 hours plus.


Is the Calibri II able to connect to the Oudie? Or would it be better
to go for a Nano?


Any suggestions and advice would be very welcome.


Kind regards

There is the ability for NMEA output to an Oudie.

I use the same setup you are considering with a Nano and Oudie and
Socket Mobile Power Pack. As long as you remember to turn on the power
pack it works great and is super portable and Cumulus Soaring sells a
nice cable to connect everything. *Not sure if that cable would work
with the Colibri II.
