New PNA ...at least to me

Anyone have experience with the Vertica V2?

Wonder if it exactly the same as the new Oudie with the bright screen. If so it certainly will help interest in WinPilot Pro,XCSoar, LX8000, StrePla, and et al

it is just viewable as in the pictures, and we have 5 com ports on it,
including the internal gps.
Some versions come with a baro sensor.
There are also other distributors of this device.

I believe the Vertica V2 and the new GliderGuider both use the SIRF Star
III GPS chipset whereas the Oudie uses the SIRF Atlas-V chipset. The
Atlas has the track smoothing issues which meant the BGA in the UK
dropped the Oudie as an approved position recorder. Of course if you
feed any of these with external GPS NMEA data that is irrelevant.


From various web searches it looks like the hardware for the Vertica
V2, the GLiderGuider and the Oudie may well all come from the same
Korean firm ODHitec. This company make all sorts of Sunlight readable
LCD kit.

I often wondered where the name Oudie came from, maybe if Navitar source
from a company whose name starts with OD...

I've seen the GliderGuider in strong sunlight and it is very clear so as
the Vertica V2 seems to be the same unit I'm sure that would be great as
well.

The price of the Nexus7 is certainly right. The sunlight readability is
nothing special in my opinion, about the same as an Ipad.

It does have a very adequate built in GPS, which my Ipad lacks.

I've been pleasantly surprised with the battery on the Nexus 7. Starting from full charge, I've done 5 to 6 hour flights with no external power whatsover and it still have quite a bit of juice left upon landing(20 to 30%). You can get even more if you hit the side button during flight to quiet the display. Or of course power it externally through the USB jack.

This is of course the advantage of having application processor with a true mobile silicon power architecture done in 40nm.

There's nothing wrong with the Nexus 7; but remember that it is an
Android operating system, and a LOT of people still use soaring
applications that are based on WinCE/Windows Mobile (since most of the
programs out there are only capable of running under that OS).

I don't think I could find room for a 7 inch screen in my cockpit. A 5 inch very bright screen seems like the optimum to me (or maybe a 5.6 inch screen as on the LX9000 - but then your panel has to be designed around it!).

I am hoping that Father Christmas will bring me a Nexus 7, but I am not planning to use it in the cockpit.
