Still drawing lines on sectionals?

I simply fold the chart along the courseline.


Been flying since 1980 and I never thought of that!

To answer the underlying question (why not let the GPS do all your flight
planning) I'd ask back why not let the autopilot do all the flying, and take a
snooze in the back seat?

1) charts have few catastrophic failure modes
2) perusing the chart before a flight alerts me to special use airspace, high
towers, terrain, stuff like that (especially important when one flies low, as I
am wont to do)
3) it's part of the fun of flying - doing it yourself as opposed to
surrendering to something by Garmin
4) what you've planned yourself you'll recognize more easily than what's
handed to you on a screen.
