CNv works fine with 3rd party devices & software including Oudie, WinPilot(iirc), XCSoar and TopHat. Ask around. But please let's not turn a simple announcement thread into discussion of third party support and policies.

Briefly: We use (at present) a subset of the Cambridge dataport spec. No one, including Cambridge, ever used the whole spec or even specific portions of it exactly as written. So there were some inevitable bugs. Those have been mostly sorted out.

We're quickly approaching the point where we will want to start adding capabilities that are outside the CAI spec. We'll make some appropriate decision about how to do this and release the details to developers.

best,
Evan Ludeman for CNi
