Thanks Robert. Great info. Soldering iron warming up...

Sean, this is EXACTLY why many of us prefer the Oudie to building a "supposedly" superior system out of more "up to date" technology and software.

Buy it, hook it up, configure the displays to your liking (or use the defaults if you are really lazy or computer-challenged) and go fly. Oudie does that, at a fraction of the cost of the higher end systems.

Myself, I'll probably stick to my SN10+Oudie2+PF setup until something significantly better is available (and I don't see XCsoar as "significantly better" than SYM, in the ways I use my moving map). Right now, what I'm watching is the evolution of iGlide and the sunlight readability of the big iPhones - when they meet my personal criteria of features and cost-effectiveness, then I might retire my Oudie. My SN10, OTOH, stays until it dies, I like it so much...

And, as a big believer in redundancy - I would never want my primary nav display to also be my retrieve phone, etc. That's just asking for Murphy to have a go!

Meanwhile, have fun with your science project and keep us posted!
