Only really need it for airspace avoidance etc.

Thanks
There are quite some aviation moving map apps for iPad now:
- Skydemon
- Garmin Pilot
- Jeppesen MFDVFR
may be the most popular.
The requirement for paper charts is a tricky question. I advice to get really familiar with the new european regulations and EASA rules, as they are different to what you may have once learned. For charts read Part.NCO:
NCO.GEN.135(a)(10) Documents, manuals and information to be carried, CURRENT AND SUITABLE AERONAUTICAL CHARTS, (c) The aeronautical data should be appropriate for the current aeronautical information regulation and control (AIRAC) cycle. If taken seriously, this would even rule out paper charts. I do use the electronic charts on the iPad and AirMillions paper charts as backup.
