A new and final Release Candidate version 3 for SeeYou Navigator 2.0 is ready! It fixes some bugs, adds small improvements, improves stability, and uses less power for that.
We have had a wonderful response to the Beta program. The app is much better now than it was when we launched the beta program. We could never have done it without you. Full list of changes is at the bottom of this page.
Navigator 2.0 will be ready for everyone to use very soon. It is significantly more reliable in recording your flight, has a smoother user interface, and most of all, has these cool new features:
- Measures altitude with internal pressure sensor of the phone – if it has one
- Connects to external pressure sensors from Bluetooth Low Energy devices
- Works seamlessly with the SeeYou Cloud Logbook
- Uploads flights to OLC, XContest, DHV-XC and WeGlide

Why connect to external source with Bluetooth?
In smartphones, power consumption is typically a priority, but in gliders, accuracy is preferred. External devices have better and more accurate sensors for pressure and GPS than phones.
With better sensors, the wind calculation is more accurate and final glide calculations are more reliable.
Supported BLE devices
SeeYou Navigator 2.0 is able to connect directly with devices that expose Serial NMEA setneces over Bluetooth Low Energy. Connection works from Android devices as well as iPhones. Supported sentences include $LXWP0, $LK8EX11, $PGRMZ as well as typical GPS sentences.
Please connect your Bluetooth device through Menu > Devices. and if it fails, let us know which device it is and we’ll make an effort to support it.
Naviter Bluetooth Dongle
If your device doesn’t have Bluetooth Low Energy module, we have a solution for you. Naviter Bluetooth Dongle is available for beta testers too. It’s a simple device that transforms your flight instrument into a Bluetooth Low Energy source of data. Plug it in, and it works. With LXNAV, Flarm, LX Navigation and other devices with IGC standard pinout. One phone and one Oudie can be connected to the Bluetooth Dongle in parallel. If you’re interested, let us know and we’ll be happy to share the details!
