    I vote for an IPad Mini with Foreflight. Last 1000 mile trip to Sun N Fun I took WAC charts, a bunch of Sectionals & a few Terminal charts. I don't remember opening any of the paper charts. For redundancy I have Foreflight on my IPhone too and a Garmin 196. I think paperless is also all that is required.

    I love my iPad i bought it strictly for the ForeFlight app makes flying more enjoyable, and you can get your charts in a quick evening download.

    Does anyone use Garmin Pilot Pro instead of Foreflight? I did a 30 day trail and found it as good or better that Foreflight. The price is pretty much the same.

    I have both paper and a tablet with the anywhere map app. when you least expect it your electronic gizmo will fail and with no backup . The line drawn on your paper sectional will never fail. Bruce N199CL
