Glass vs. Charts

When you are flying (and assuming you have a GPS with electronic chart
databases), do you usually use paper charts for navigation (looking up
frequencies, checking for restricted airspace, etc.) or do you look it up on
your GPS, and why?

Very interesting ... and much in agreement with some of the things I've
already mentioned myself (with respect to the _necessity_ of current
databases). Also, it's nice to see something on that site that doesn't
require membership to view.

Well, you just did. It's not like I didn't warn you all.

I certainly don't run down the the FBO the day I find my sectional is
out of date. This is especially silly when your flight crosses 3 or 4
sectionals. I'm not going to keep the entire U.S. in my flight bag up
to date. I do ensure my IFR charts are up to date though.

Some of the subscription services are great for this.

I get charts, plates, etc... as they expire and only pay a few bucks
extra for shipping. If it's a "foldable" chart (not an AF/D or NACO
Plate Pack), I only pay $1 shipping through AvShop.

mypilotstore.com has them at a discount, with free shipping. It's what
I do.

It's even cheaper to get them direct from NACO, but you do have to
pay for the annual subscription in advance.

Still, I'm not going to keep 6 or 7 sectionals up to date each time I
fly cross country. I usually have updates for my departure point and
destination but for enroute I use whatever I have that is most recent
(at least for VFR). It just doesn't make sense to have to buy so many
charts per flight.
