This is the actual map, not a screenshot

Below is a real JVFR offline data package for the Netherlands, drawn by the same code, in the app's default chart theme. Drag it around and have a look.

  • Custom AIP styling Blue for controlled airspaces and CTRs, red for restricted, danger and prohibited areas, grey for RMZ and TMZ. In the app you can declutter and style to your liking.
  • Interactive airspaces Read airspace features, ceilings, NOTAMs and more straight from the map.
  • Fully offline Terrain, water, roads, towns and airspace are all stored on your device. Well, not on this website. This website needs internet. Obviously.

Offline package sample

Built for cockpit/pilots

Made by a pilot who got tired of checking ten websites

JVFR started during my PPL training, to pull weather, NOTAMs, charts and mass & balance into one place. I still routinely update the app with new features I want to have in the cockpit, and I hope you find them useful as well.

Powerful vector maps

Performant maps with dynamically rendered features. Labels are legible at any zoom or rotation. Tap any airspace to see its vertical limits and class.

Offline charts

Download just the area you fly and the map keeps working with no internet. Terrain, roads, towns, water and airspaces, all stored on your device.

GPS navigation

Track your route with wind and magnetic declination and variation applied, per-waypoint ETA, Direct-To, and an alerts before you enter controlled or restricted airspaces.

Complete weather suite

Decoded METAR and TAF for any reporting station, rain radar and satellite imagery, global winds at various altitudes, and automatic crosswind components for the runway you want to use.

Mass & balance

Live mass and balance as you change the loading, with fuel planning and reserves. In whatever units you prefer (personally, I quite like kilograms).

Live traffic

ADS-B and MLAT traffic around you, with a warning when something is getting close.

Offline maps

Downlooad only what you need

Pick the area you fly on a map and JVFR downloads it for you so you take only what you need, instead of whole countries or continents. The aviation data for every country your area touches comes along, in the same download.

Choose full detail or a compact version, see exactly what it will cost in megabytes before you download, and delete an area when you are done with it.

The Download an area panel: a box drawn over the German border with downloaded tiles in green, and a summary showing 2 tiles, aviation data for FR, DE and NL, and 47 MB to download

In flight

Dynamic navigation map

Your track, your route, and the airspaces ahead. JVFR watches where you are going and warns you before you enter a CTR, a restricted area or an RMZ, along with the time you have left before you get there.

Endurance and glide rings show how far you can actually reach, wind included, so "can I make it" has an answer.

Any device

Phone, tablet, laptop — same app

JVFR works on iOS, Android and Windows without a separate build for each. Add it to your preferred device and it opens like any other app, full screen, with your data already on the device.

Plan on the laptop the night before, fly with the tablet on your knee.
