How to solve the 'one writing stick for everything' problem:

Don't laminate your charts & use a SOFT-ish pencil eg 2B or similar. Soft enough to write on charts & be erased after use without damaging the chart, marks the whiz wheel easily, writes on flight logs or equivalent etc.

Hard enough so that it lasts for more than 3 mins of use.

As for the original question: Maps & charts that have intermediate or sufficient overlapping coverage to make it easier to transition from one chart to the next AND remove the annoyance of having a waypoint only an inch or two into the next chart.
