Flight planning & navigation software in Lelystad, Netherlands.
Somewhere in March 2003, Rob Weijers & Marcel Knol were introduced to each other by a mutual pilot acquaintance. At that time, Rob had just started developing a little program that used a GPS receiver & a Pocket PC (!) to serve as an aid in his CPL training. Marcel offered to assist him by developing documentation & a web site, & by doing software beta testing – remember, Pocket PC’s were few & expensive in those early days. It was the start of a cooperation that still lasts, & has resulted in the versatile flight planning & moving map software you may be using.
In February 2013, a successor to the original PocketFMS software was released. Called EasyVFR, & usable on a wider & more modern range of platforms, such as iOS, Android, Windows & OS X. The original PocketFMS software remains available for a long time still due to its large audience of frequent users, though development & support have been frozen.
