I am looking at stand alone loggers for collecting flight information, OLC, badges and possibly state record attempts. I plan on interfacing to an Oudie.



Any feedback from folks that have used either the LX Nano or LX Navigation Colibri II?



The Nano is a simple 'black box', ~$65 cheaper, and advertises longer battery life.



The Colibri has features that would allow it to be a backup vario and simple navigation device, via WP's, if power was lost to the Oudie.



Is the battery life as advertised?

Interface to the Oudie easy?

Other comments?



Thanks

Hi Ron,

The Nano is a great logger. I have it connected to a Dell Streak via Blue Tooth, and for three years so far, it has not failed to work as advertised.

It is small, light and easy to velcro to the glare shield. Remove it after flight and connect it to a USB cable for an easy download. I usually leave it plugged into the USB for an hour or so to recharge the battery. Very easy logger to use.
