Training, both airplane and helicopter, is stuck in the Stone Age. In part due to tailoring the program to meet regulatory driven knowledge, which is also in the Stone Age. Started off with a map on my lap, oriented with flightpath, and my finger moving along it. We can do bethter now - why look at a paper map to figure out where you are when you can look at an electronic one and know exactly where you are? Haven’t used a paper map for either IFR or VFR in either airplanes or helicopters for at least 10 years of worldwide flying.
