Open Glider Network (OGN) & Live Tracking

SeeYou Navigator will show live OGN traffic when the OGN layer is enabled.

Note that when you are receiving OGN traffic, your position is also uploaded to the OGN service. When you see others, others see you.

How it works

Oudie N, Omni and Navigator relay their position to the Open Glider Network servers. At the same time, positions of others are relayed back to Oudie N, Omni and Navigator through the OGN network. This enables you to see Flarm targets regardless of how near or far they are from you.

How to setup the live tracking

Simply enable the OGN layer in Settings > Map & Layers > Configure map layers or by tap on the layer icon in the right top corner of the map.

Your position will become visible on OGN immediately when you have a valid GPS location.

When flying gliders with another Flarm device, the default method may cause your position to be reported to the OGN twice. Once with the ID of your Navigator and once more independently through the Flarm on your other device. To overcome this, you can manually enter a Flarm ID in the aircraft setup. Navigator will even try to recognize your Flarm ID automatically from the glider registration number.

Tap on the selected glider, then tap on the Edit icon in the top-right corner of the screen. Enter the Registration of your glider and you’re done.

If you glider is registered in the OGN database, we will automatically find the corresponding Flarm ID. That’s all.

Benefits of registering Flarm ID at OGN

• Live tracking: Family and friends will be able to follow your progress for their peace of mind
• Search & Rescue: In case one of your colleague goes missing, it is easier to know where he was last seen
• Combining phone location with OGN location: SeeYou Navigator will transmit your Flarm ID to OGN when your glider is out of reach of the OGN ground station network

What if your Flarm is not yet registered at OGN?

Do it now:

1. Turn on the Flarm in your glider and make sure it’s visible on Glide and seek
2. Tap on your glider and find the Flarm ID
3. Go to https://ddb.glidernet.org
4. Login or create an account at OGN
5. Add device (choose Flarm, enter your Flarm ID, glider registration and tail number)
6. Save your choices and you’re done

Your current OGN address can be found on the Settings > About dialog.
