Introduction
Oudie 34.50
Company Naviter is dedicated to solving glider pilot's problems and Oudie 3 is one of the answers in this challenge. It´s intended use is helping para-glider, hang glider and other pilots navigate during leisure, cross country and competition flights.
Oudie 3 is a Personal Gliding Assistant which aims at providing everything a glider pilot needs in one simple package. For this reason Oudie 3 have big bright sun readable screen, excellent vario and a large battery which is powerful enough for more than twelve hours of flying. Vario and Navigation software, maps and airspaces for Oudie 3 are already preinstalled. You can literally take it out of the box and launch.
Oudie 3 works great in combination with other Naviter products such as SeeYou for the PC, Soaring Spot and others. It was designed to answer the question which was most frequently posted to us as "Why do you not build the device for paraglider and hang glider pilots?"
Naviter is a Slovenian based software company. We focus on highly featured and easy to use software for glider pilots. The needs of paraglider, hang glider and sailplane pilots worldwide are what we are interested in.

Turning Oudie 3 on and off
To turn the Oudie 3 ON press the power button for 1 second. In order to prevent turning on the device by accident you have to press the confirm button in five seconds.
To turn the Oudie 3 OFF, press the power button for 1 second while the device is running then choose the desired action:
Power Off: will stop the navigation and turn off the device. You should do this before long term storage. Battery should be at least 50% full before you store it for a long time.
Sleep: will turn off the screen, GPS, Bluetooth and power down the processor. The navigation will be put on hold and the battery will drain very slightly. After switching back on you are ready for navigation in just a few seconds. You should use the Sleep function when you are waiting to launch and want to conserve the battery for example. It's ok to use Sleep over night as well. The battery drain is negligible.
Cancel: will do nothing and return focus to navigation.
To reboot press the reset button on the back of the device.

Connecting to the GPS
When the navigation device is turned on for the first time or after a long period of non-use, initialising the integrated GPS receiver can take up to 40 minutes. Optimal conditions for problem-free and fast GPS receptions are: having a clear view of the open sky, no high buildings immediately close by and
remaining in one place until the GPS position has been determined. The Navbox
82
on the upper side of the map will show you the GPS status (by default - you can change the navboxes later).
36
with symbols
This is where you will be looking for information all the time. You can do many things on the Map page:
You can move the map by dragging it. It will return to the position of the glider after 10 seconds automatically or by pressing the Map orientation symbol.
You can move the

Using vario
Oudie 3 features an excellent vario. It is the best vario you can find on the market. It is extremely accurate and responsive at the same time.
You can control the audio settings of the vario on the
105
page. We went into a lot of trouble fine tuning the vario sound. Make sure to try the default settings in the air before you change them.
You can control the size and position of the Vario Symbol on the map. Simply drag it on the screen if you wish to move it to a new position. Go to
Menu > Settings > Symbols > Vario

Learning to use Oudie 3
There are two recommended ways to learn how to use Oudie 3 before you get airborne.
File replay
This is by far the most efficient way to learn Oudie 3 software. What it does is it replays an already flown flight and enables you to see the data you would have been looking at if you had Oudie 3 with you on the particular flight.
In order to set this up, copy some of your flights from the desktop PC to your device. Then go to
94
, then change input to "File". Press the "..." button and choose a flight you wish to replay. Now use the buttons to change Waypoints, MacCready and pages. Tap on the screen to see what happens and setup Navboxes to what you want them to be. Note that you can setup
82 separately for each of the two Map pages.
Simulator
In the Simulator input mode, you can move the glider freely even without a prerecorded flight which enables you to go places you haven't visited in the air yet. To move the glider, tap on it, then drag a line out of the glider in the direction you want it to move. The longer the line, the faster it will go in the specified direction.
By learning how to use Oudie 3 software on the ground you will have more time to think about gliding, task and scenery in the air. It is warmly recommended.

Using Profiles with Oudie 3
If you feel no need to use more than one set of
82
or fly more than one type of gliders ignore this feature and go read the next chapter.
© 2003 - 2013 ... Naviter d.o.o.
14 Oudie 3
If however you fly several types of gliders at different locations you are likely to be fed up with changing the polar, terrain, waypoint and airspace files each time before the flight. Profiles were added in Oudie 3 software. You can have separate setups for each of your gliders or type of flying. Here's how it works.
1. When you first ran Oudie 3, a Default profile was created. Anything you have changed in the application was stored to this profile. Now comes a day when you fly the another glider with a significantly different polar than the one you have used previously. To avoid entering the polar, header and hardware data each time you go fly this glider, you may create a new profile by going to
Menu > Settings > Miscellaneous
102
and click the "Add Profile..." button.
© 2003 - 2013 ... Naviter d.o.o.
© 2003 - 2013 ... Naviter d.o.o.
Getting started 15
2. You get to choose to either
. Copy current profile (which makes an exact copy of your current settings),
. Create a new profile (which creates a copy of the default settings).
You may give the new profile a name according to what you are going to use it for. Be it "RACE", "XC" or "Hike and fly glider".
16 Oudie 3
3. Next time you start Oudie 3 you will have two (or more) profiles to choose from. You have 10 seconds to select a profile. If you do nothing, the profile you used last is loaded.
4. After you have loaded the profile for the first time you will want to set it up according to your preferences.
Here is a handful of settings you will probably want to change before use:
Links to Terrain, Airspace and Waypoint files
Pilot name and Glider type settings

How Airspace warning works
Avoiding forbidden airspace is often just as important as navigating in general. It can however be much trickier than finding the right valley since the airspace structure is very abstract and often complicated.
Oudie 3 will be your best friend if you use the whole potential of what it's got to offer.

Getting started 17
1. Airspace Warning
The first stage - let's name it the Airspace Warning - is often merely informative. The screen will display an orange banner at the top of the page and highlight the airspaces you are about to encounter. It will also display a line with distances from your position to the nearest position of each airspace you are about to encounter. And it will beep briefly.
You get to choose to turn the airspace warning off for the airspace which is listed in the banner. You can turn it off for either
. Today - until next takeoff,
. 5 minutes - note that this number is user selectable through Menu > Settings > Warnings,
. Ignore - for as long as you are flying towards it it won't beep again.
18 Oudie 3
2. Airspace Alarm
Once you come too close for comfort an airspace alarm will sound. It gives you a red banner at the top where you can read all about the airspace in question and it will highlight the airspace in question. It will also draw the line to the closest point of the airspace and it will give you a sound alarm continuously.
You still get to choose to turn this alarm off for:
. Today - until next takeoff,
. 5 minutes - user selectable in Menu > Settings >
Warnings,
. Mute - continue to display everything but stop the sound alarm.
After you have pressed Mute you can still Ignore this airspace alarm.
3. Helpful Navboxes
There are three airspace related navboxes which will give you a good overview of the airspace situation if you are familiar with what they are displaying:
1. "Nearest airspace - Horizontally" gives you the distance from your position to the nearest position of an airspace where you are not horizontally inside (i.e. you are not below this airspace yet).
2. "Horizontally nearest airsapce - Altitude" gives you the altitude difference towards the horizontally nearest airspace. The altitude difference is negative if you are below horizontally nearest airsapce. It is positive if you are above and "Inside" if you are about to hit the lateral borders of the airspace in question.
3. "Nearest airspace - Vertically" gives you the altitude difference towards the airspace above or below the glider. The value is negative if you are below the airspace. It is positive if you are above, "Inside" if you are already inside an airspace and "N/A" if there is no airspace at your location.
In addition to the airspaces there is also a very useful Action which can be assigned to any Navbox. It is the action "Highlight nearest airspace" and it is assigned to the "Nearest airspace - Horizontally" by default. If you touch a Navbox which has this action assigned to it, Oudie 3 will highlight the airspace in question. It will link the glider with the airspace and display the distance from the glider to the airspace.

Getting started 19
4. Screen taps
In addition to all the above you may tap anywhere on the screen and then choose "Airspace" to quickly access the list of airspaces at the location of the tap. With this list you can quickly change the visibility of the airspaces or simply get an overview of what lies ahead. You can also change the properties of an airspace such as lower or upper limit.
With this information airspace navigation should be easy and understandable even in a rather complex airspace environment.

Entering and flying the tasks
This is a tutorial about entering the task in Oudie 3. We have had the privilege to look over the shoulder many impressively experienced pilots who have found a very difficult way to enter a task into Oudie3.
Please read this because entering the task is just that - enter the waypoint names, set the times (Gate,
Start speed section, End speed section, Task deadline) and Sector type (Line, Cylinder, FAI sector or
Assigned area). No setting up of observation zones is neccessary. Tutorial will focus on entering the demo task. The default one in the evaluation version of Oudie 3. The task will become a 99,3 km Race to goal in the south-eastern part of the Alps (Slovenia). Both Racing, badge and record tasks as well as
Assigned Area tasks are covered.
Always start from the scratch. Menu > Task > Tools > Clear task:

20 Oudie 3
Make sure the first line in the empty list is selected (if you didn't touch the screen after clearing the task, then it is already selected). Then press the "Keyb" (as in Keyboard) button:
© 2003 - 2013 ... Naviter d.o.o.
Getting started 21
Start typing and you will notice that the waypoint name auto-completes while you are typing (note that the keyboard characters which do not make sense are disabled while you type):

22 Oudie 3
Note that B and 0 keys were pressed while "1164" was auto-completed. If you know your waypoint is in alphabetical vicinity of the currently auto-completed name of the waypoint, you may also use the "<<" and ">>" buttons on the full screen keyboard to advance the waypoint names alphabetically. Once you have found the waypoint you were looking for, press OK.
You are now back in the List view of the Task dialog. Tap on the line below the start point. The line becomes blue:
© 2003 - 2013 ... Naviter d.o.o.
Getting started 23
Press the "Keyb" button again and start entering the Start Gate turnpoint's name, A28089 in this example:
© 2003 - 2013 ... Naviter d.o.o.
24 Oudie 3
Note that after entering "A" and "2" the suggested waypoint name is "A28089". If not "A28089" - Press
">>" once and you are now at "A28089". Press OK.
Repeat this procedure until all waypoints including the finish are entered quickly:
© 2003 - 2013 ... Naviter d.o.o.

Start and re-start the task
To make a re-start. Change the target waypoint back to start point. The quickest way to do it is to open the Task dialog, select start point and press Goto. Statistics will be reset, when you cross the start line again.
Flying the task
To navigate during the task use all of the featues that are made available to you through Oudie 3 software:
.

to see where you are,
.
82
to see the flight parameters you are interested in,
.

Final glide
Here's a suggestion. Flying final glides is the most comfortable when you use the Required L/D and
82
. What they do is they show the required L/D to the finish line and current L/D you are doing at the moment. You are on glide slope when Current L/D is higher than Required L/D. The calculation already includes reserve altitude. The nice part is that it is insensible of the MC setting, glider polar, wind calculation etc. All of them can be wrong when you try to math through the glider polar.
Current L/D however is pragmatic - it tells you what you are doing. Required L/D is pragmatic as well. It tells you what you should be doing. If Current L/D is higher than the Required one you are doing good. If it looks like you can keep going like that, you are doing great.
Have fun making those final glides!
Go fly the task and enjoy!!!
SAVING TASK FOR LATER USE
It is always wise to make sure you have all the data securely stored in case of an unintended outage of the device. Start from the main screen and select Menu > Next > Save Settings > tick the "Save profile" and "Save waypoints and tasks" checkboxes (if they are both enabled), then tap "Yes".

Flying with the FAI Triangle Assistant
FAI Triangle Assistant helps you complete the largest possible FAI Triangle.
You don't have to do much to use the FAI Triangle Assistant. Just turn it on and fly is how we tried to design the assistant. Here's how it works.
Turning the FAI Assistant on or off follows the same phylosophy as toggling the Map, Waypoints,
Airspace, Navboxes etc. It is controlled through the
52
dialog.
Flying the Free FAI Triangle task
Once the FAI Area is on, you don't have to do much. You are of course required to know at least roughly which direction you would like to fly to fly a triangle. The larger the triangle you are attempting, the more you will know where to go. FAI Triangle Assistant will simply follow what you are doing. As you fly the first leg it won't yet know which way you are going to fly. That is not a problem. The FAI Area will be
© 2003 - 2013 ... Naviter d.o.o.
30 Oudie 3
drawn on one side of the first leg. If you would like it to be on the other side, simply tap inside the area and it will rotate (provided that "Rotate on click" is enabled in the settings, which - by default - it is).
Once you have turned your first waypoint, simply continue to fly towards your other waypoint (or rather a larger area where you would like to turn your second waypoint). As soon as the triangle you have flown is deep enough the FAI Area changes. It is not drawn on the longest leg anymore. Instead it is drawn on the last leg you have flown. That means it is showing you the way towards the area where you will be able to turn your second waypoint and allow your whole flight to be an FAI triangle.
When you are near your second waypoint you will appreciate some help from the FAI Triangle optimization navbox, which is available through the list of
82
. Place it visibly on the screen to know exactly how large the triangle will be if you can finish it home. After you are happy with what you have done in your second area, head home. The FAI Triangle optimization should not change anymore, it's just about getting home.
The above example focused on an FAI Triangle which has been started from one of its corners. Flying a triangle with the start on the leg is no different. The only difference is that the second point you turn represents the first point from the above example and the third one is the final one from which you fly home.
Finishing the task
An FAI Triangle is not finished unless you fly back to your start point. One finish fix within 1 km radius from another fix that occured before turning the 1st waypoint of the optimized triangle is required to finish the task. It may be a single fix if you started your triangle in one of its corners. It is a whole series of fixes between soaring begin and the first waypoint if you started the triangle on one of its legs.
FAI Triangle Assistant also helps you identify the exact course to fly by always highlighting a 1km diameter circle around the closest available finish fix.
Rotating the area
Sometimes the flight requires much more thinking than the above examples. You may wish to know if your current leg is long enough already to cover Town X with the FAI Area of your current flight. For this reason you will want to rotate the FAI area from its current position. It can hardly be easier to do simply tap on the FAI Area on the moving map and it will rotate. If you are on your first leg (or not far enough on the second), it will rotate left/right around the first leg. Once you are far enough on the second leg to make it obvious which way you are going to fly the triangle, it will rotate around the legs.
All this provided that "Rotate on click" is enabled in the settings, which - by default - it is.
The FAI Area icons may also be placed on the Command bar if you wish to have quick and constant access to them in flight. There are options for toggling the FAI Area and Rotating the FAI Area under
96
.
FAI Triangle Assistant preferences
If you would like to influence the look and feel of the FAI Triangle Assistant you may do so through
80
dialog.
Example shows kilometer lines for Triangles between 80 - 120 km. If you fly into the violet area, the triangle will be an FAI triangle.

Using Thermal Assistant
Thermal assistant is a feature of Oudie 3 which should help you get centered in a lift more quickly if you decide to follow its instructions.
Thermal assistant analyses the lift in your thermal. It calculates the average and follows how strongly the vario values change in each circle.
It uses three ways to catch your attention:
1. You may choose between Bubbles or a Zoomed map which shows the best part of the lift. Bubbles are disabled by default, zooming in is enabled.
© 2003 - 2013 ... Naviter d.o.o.
Getting started 33
2. Thermal Assistant audio warning goes off if variance is large enough (see
89
).
It whistles a selected amount of seconds or degrees (see Settings - Thermal
89
) before the glider will reach the same part of the circle where maximum lift was reached in the previous circle.
3. Thermal assistant graphics is displayed if variance for displaying the thermal assistant is large
enough (see Settings - Thermal
89
). The size of the bubbles represents the amount of lift. The color of the bubble is relative to the MacCready setting. Red is better thank MC, blue is more than 0.5m/s (1kts) less than MC, yellow is in between. The arrow is pointing towards the maximum of the lift in the previous circle while the length of the arrow is how "strong" the advice is to move your circle elsewhere. The arrow is longer if variance is larger.

Your job:
. find a thermal,
. start circling,
. look outside,
. observe the thermal clues,
. observe traffic in your vicinity,
. make use of Assistant's suggestions.
Assistant's job:
. analyze the thermal,
. find the strongest lift in the circle,
. make audio and visual suggestions.
We were not trying to develop a Thermal
Wizard, just an Assistant for the times when you are tired or have better things to do than focus
100% on the thermal. It will only sound a bell if the thermal varies significantly in strength.
If you would like to display Thermal assistant regardless of the current vario variation, feel free to navigate to the Menu and press the Thermal Assistant button. To close the Thermal Assistant, just tap the screen anywhere.
We will be happy if you continue to enjoy soaring and if you never find the need to use the Thermal
Assistant at all :-)

Navboxes
Oudie 3 supports several Navigation boxes. You have full control over which Navboxes you wish to display, how large they should be and where they should be located.
Navboxes are setup separately for Map 1 and Map 2 views. That is because normally you will want to use the two map views for two different reasons. One could be general navigation while the other one is approaching the waypoint where details are important. You will require two different settings for which
Navboxes should be displayed in these conditions.

. North Up where top of the display is always true North,
. East Up where true East is at the top of the screen,
. South Up where true South is at the top of the screen,
. West Up where true West is at the top of the screen,
. Goal Up sets up the display so, that the point you are navigating to is always at the top of the screen,
. Track Up puts your current track towards the top of the screen,
. Heading Up puts your current heading towards the top of the screen. Heading is calculated by subtracting Wind vector from the Track vector.
. Pan mode is a special mode where you can freely move around the map, zoom in, zoom out and rotate the map to explore some details along the course.
To move around the map in Pan mode you simply drag your finger over the screen and the map will follow your finger. To rotate the map drag your finger in the bottom 10% of the screen left/right. The map will again follow your finger, but this time it will rotate around the center point of the screen. If you will not move map in Pan mode for 10 seconds the Map orientation will change back to what it was before you started to pan.

Take-off altitude
By changing this setting you can change your take-off altitude. Setting up this value correctly is essential for correct final glide indications. When there is a waypoint or the terrain map with elevations in vicinity, there is a suggestion at what to set up in the top line of this dialog.
QNH
By changing the QNH value you can change the pressure at start or change the QNH in flight to correct the change in pressure
MacCready
You can setup the MC setting here. The optimum value for the MC setting can be derived from the statistics page and other Navboxes.

Menu 59
Altitude reserve
All final glide calculations are subject to correction of the altitude reserve. If this value is greater than 0, then your arrival altitude to the waypoint will be this much above the altitude of the waypoint elevation from the waypoint database (this may not be its actual altitude, so use at own risk, needless to say).
Volume
This property is used for changing the Vario volume.

Goto
The goto dialog allows you to select the "Navigate to" point quickly. There are several ways to access this dialog:
Tap on the map
Brings up the Goto dialog. Waypoints are sorted on distance from the point where the tap happened on the Map screen. This way it is easy to select the waypoint you were trying to "tap" even though you couldn't tell them apart in the Map view due to the Zoom level.
Through the menu
If the Goto dialog is accessed through Menu > Goto, waypoints are sorted first on type, then distance.

Pressing the Details button will open a new window where you can read waypoint details and edit waypoint properties. It will close automatically after 10 seconds or when you press the OK/Goto button.
Since the waypoint list may be huge there is a quicker way to accessing a particular point alphabetically by filtering the points. When the waypoints are filtered, the Filter caption is highlighted in the command bar (see screenshot below).
At the bottom of the screen, immediately above the menu, three recently used waypoints are displayed.
6.10.1 Details overview

6.10.3 Waypoint filter
Since SeeYou Mobile may use multiple files as the input for waypoints there is need for a simple way to filter the waypoints so that only those waypoints are presented which are of the most interest for the user.
© 2003 - 2013 ... Naviter d.o.o.
62 Oudie 3
Three filters are available in order for you to organize your waypoints in a more readable way:
. Alphabetical filter
. Filter by file
Alphabetical filter allows you to simply enter the waypoint's name. As soon as the list of waypoints is less than the length of the screen filter closes and you may choose the waypoint that you were looking for from the list that matches the filter you have entered. The screenshot below left displays such filter with the letters "MAL" already entered. The result is a list of all waypoints that begin with MAL (see screenshot on the right):
Filter by file allows you to show or hide waypoints that are stored in separate files. In the example below only two out of four waypoint files that were selected through

Wind is calculated using three methods in Oudie 3:
. Position drift when Lat/Lon are the only available data,
. Groundspeed difference when groundspeed and track are received from the GPS,
. Combination of Groundspeed and straight flight when true air speed is received from the instrument. In this case, the wind is updated in straight flight as well.

Terrain
You can choose from several levels of detail of the terrain which is being rendered. When terrain is Off, you will still see Water bodies, Roads, Railroads, Towns and labels on the screen. With the setting at
Low isolines will appear at approximately 300m each. With the setting at Medium, isolines appear at about 100m. With the setting at High, you get exactly what you are used to in the desktop SeeYou version.
Scheme
Several color schemes are preloaded in a new installation. It is easier to see how each one looks if you look at it in the desktop SeeYou. We recommend "Hight contrast" for mountaneous terrain, ICAO for just general navigation and Open Street Maps color scheme for the Flatlands.
If Custom color scheme is chosen you get to define your own colors and other properties for the map objects.

Navboxes
Navigational boxes are one of the most important parts of Oudie 3. They show all parameters of flight.
You have full control over which Navboxes you wish to display, how large and how transparent they should be and where they should be located. Note that each Navbox can also function as a button if you assign an "Action" to it.
Navboxes are setup separately for Map 1 and Map 2 views. That is because normally you will want to use the two map views for two different reasons. One could be general navigation while the other one is approaching the waypoint where details are important. You will require two different settings for which
Navboxes should be displayed in these conditions.
Through this dialog you can select which of the available Navboxes you wish to display on the active map.
The Combo box allows you to choose from a sub-group of navboxes so you can more easily select or change the ones you want. One sub-group is also "Currently visible navboxes" for example.
Navigation navboxes:

Warnings
There is three types of warnings in Oudie 3:
1. Airspace warnings
2. Altitude warnings
© 2003 - 2013 ... Naviter d.o.o.
Settings 89
Airspace Warning is activated by two triggers. First warning is when the projected point of the flight is inside a sector. Sector is outlined bold red, so you can clearly identify it on the screen. The position of the glider is projected for the value in secons ahead of the current position. This value is setup in Time
[s] setting.
Second Airspace warning appears when you fly closer than the preselected Distance from the Airspace or when your altitude is less than Alt.res different from the airspace boundaries. A continous sound warning and whole-screen warning appears.
Altitude warning is a general warning, useful for example when there is a maximum altitude set for a competition day or 18.000ft for the USA. When you come close to the airspace, you get a beep and the red banner much like the airspace warning.

will display 3D/X, 2D/X or BAD in the top left corner when in GPS/
Vario input mode.
Simulator
In this mode a glider is controlled by dragging a line out of the glider thus telling it in which direction to move and how fast. You can specify a start Latitude and Longitude through the edit boxes if you wish.
File
This mode takes an IGC file and animates an old flight. This is the most perfect way to test the application. You will be able to rely on own feelings from the actual flight and observe what Oudie 3 would have been telling you if you had it with you in the air at that time. Use the "..." button to select a flight you wish to animate and the Rate spin do select how fast the animation should run.
A particularly useful way to replay a flight is if you managed to save a NMEA log of your flight. In the

Screen orientation may not be supported on all devices. If certain or all directions are greyed out then your devices does not support rotating the screen in that particular direction. The directions given are relative to the default orientation:
0 = default orientation
90 = 90 degrees clock-wise from the default orientation
180 = upside down from the portrait orientation
270 = 90 degrees anti-clockwise from the default orientation
Changing the screen orientation requires a reboot of the Oudie in order for all changes to take effect.
Dialog timeout sets up how long a dialog will wait for you to press something before it quits and returns back to navigation. Dialogs subjected to this are Zoom, Flight Properties, Wind, Map orientation and similar. Note that the Settings dialog is not a subject to disappearing as we consider you know what you are doing when you are going through the Settings.
Drag limit is an area of pixels within which the control will not move even if you move the stylus or your finger. This is required for using the display with fingers because it is difficult to keep still in a shaky environment of the glider.

Oudie 3 is the navigation software while ConnectMe can download flight traces, upload declarations and more from other flight recorders (required cables are not included). A separate help file is available for running ConnectMe.

USB
This option allows you to select how Oudie 3 behaves when connected to PC with that USB cable.
In Mass Storage mode Oudie 3 will become a logical drive when connected to PC. After you plug in the
USB cable you will be asked whether or not you wish to "Connect to PC" or "Charge Battery". If you choose to "Connect to PC" then all running programs on Oudie 3 will be shut down including Oudie 3 and
ConnectMe.
In Active Sync mode Oudie 3 will be recognized as an external device. Transfer speeds are much lower than in Mass Storage mode, but Oudie 3 and PC connection can work simultaneously.

Windows Mobile tips and tricks
There are some tricks in using the Oudie 3.
Using Oudie 3 with your fingers and gloves
Usually in office conditions, you will be using your Oudie 3 with the included stylus. However in flight this is a pain. Stylus is small, Oudie 3 is shaking, so taping the screen is pretty inaccurate. The stylus could get lost really quickly. Oudie 3 is therefore designed to be used with fingers (gloves) rather than the stylus.
Tap
This is similar to mouse left-click in desktop Windows. Press your finger or nail anywhere on the screen to create a "Tap". This way you can navigate through the menus or tap on the map to get the Goto and
Airspace menu for example.
Tap and Hold
Tap and hold is something similar to the mouse right-click in desktop Windows. There are few uses for a pop-up menu in Oudie 3, so Tap and Hold is normally used to perform special tasks on the map. An example is moving the Nav-boxes or accessing the Flight parameters by tapping and holding the
Glideslope indicator. Similar use is assigned to tapping and holding the Wind and North indicators.
