Favorite VFR Nav Log?

Here is one that I used. I have a blank one somewhere that I could scan into a pdf if someone wants it or anyone could create something identical on excel.

Never understood why anyone buys these kinds of things, when you can download and print out the same thing for free online.

Just curious if anyone else has run across some nice VFR Nav logs they use for themselves or students.

Disclaimer: I fly only VFR, daytime, good weather, with my longest leg of a flight being just under 2 hours. Fuel is never an issue since I go with full tanks which gives me 5 hours flight time. I have recently been doing 'follow the river' flying with a map.

I use Foreflight to do the whiz wheel computations for course/heading, then grab one or more screenshots of my intended route from FF and mark them up per the image attached. I do screenshots since I can get a bigger zoom than on a standard chart. The attached image is for a 50 minute flight so it all fit well on a single screenshot.

If I'm doing a flight with dead reckoning/pilotage, I'll add ETE stamps at each checkpoint. If I'm doing FTR, I don't find the time stamps much use.

I back up my paper chart with both ForeFlight and the plane's GPS.

I really like having everything in one spot. I know when to dial in the next airport, can draw up intended method for entering the pattern, notes about TFRs, etc. In a small cockpit, less is better.
