Company Reports They Put FMS In A Flip Phone

Is that a Flight Management System in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me? Grosshans IT Service International has released its next generation application dubbed "CyNAV" The company says it is their first real and feature rich aviation application in a cell phone.

Grosshans IT says CyNAV works entirely with independent maps, world airport and a navaid database with approximately 30000 entries, and without any online charges. A built in GPS receiver delivers all the location information independent from online connections. Flight management capabilities, a worldwide orthogonal moving 3D map and navigation display together with E6B are included. It was thoroughly tested and can be delivered as bundle with a Motorola A1600 Linux cell phone at this time. The company plans to release CyNAV for other cell phones as well.

The company says CyNAV takes advantage of modern cell phone technology to make flight planning and navigation a lot easier. The software boasts full color touchscreen with stylus, virtual keyboard and handwriting pad, data swap via bluethooth, SMS and email, a web browser, and other applications preinstalled, plus much more in just a compact cell phone.

No word on whether there will one day be an "app" for that.
