Default Oudie gear warning?

Hey all - I just acquired an original Oudie and I have noticed a gear warning in the profile setup. Not mentioned in the manual and the previous 2 owners do not know about it. I have not noticed it trying to get my attention in the pattern either. I will ask Naviter next unless youze can fill me in.

You are welcome!

I am one of many who exhorted Naviter to add an altitude based gear warning. It was included in an update, I believe, at the beginning of last year.

It is based on your AGL - about 200m / 660 ft. It knows where you are and it knows the ground level where you took off. If A = B, you get the warning.

It also has a gear warning at altitude to make sure you are "gear up". I can't remember what the logic is behind that. Circling I think.

Anyway, a very useful reminder in the pattern.

Is this function added to an IGC with an update?

Where in the settings screens is the gear warning? I don’t have a page that says Profile.

Yes, the post above by Scott is exactly what you do to turn that feature on for the Oudie 2... I have it set on mine and it works great, but regarding the post above from Lou, mine does not give a "gear up" notification and I don't see anywhere to enable that feature, if someone has more info on that, please post ... Thanks, Marc

I have a newer oudie IGC, and the second original oudie made. Serial #2 and the landing gear check is on both after an update.
