AirNav VFR Flight Planner is Closing

I am advised by Sentient Software, the owners of AirNav VFR, that their flight planner is closing as of the Airservices May 2019 map update. This leaves us users still able to use this planner but with only the ability to plan off the WAC charts after the VTC and VNC maps expire.

I, for one, will miss the ease and simplicity of planning a flight over the digitised versions of Airservices maps, then, when I go flying, just printing off accurate to scale A4 route maps and just rotating them from top to bottom in a plastic sleeve as the flight progresses.

Another great thing with AirNav VFR was its compatibility with old computers, being able to run on every operating system from Windows 98 through to Windows 10 and any PC from a Pentium 1 onwards.

Now I am expected to go out and buy some fragile, heat-sensitive IPAD thingy with obsolescence already engineered into it.

Does anyone know of any flight planner that will do the above?
