Default How many pilots are using technology

to access the information.


No it cannot.

Typically, for a computer display, the user has to compromise his posture
and head position to match the position of the computer ( /GPS ) display.
Even "portable" computer displays are not as infinitely portable as is
paper, and will require at least a minimum of compromise by the user
(turning away from the glare, for example.).

With paper, you bring the display into the most convenient position to match
the user's posture and head position, no matter what it may be. With very
few exceptions, paper can be made to fit the user, no matter what his
physical attitude (lying on the floor, upside down, for example)!
