Flying in a small MT03 open gyro cockpit makes it difficult for chart reading, I have a 1/4 mil recently re-folded to show my route. I also have my iphone plugged into the external power socket running memory map on 1/4 mil map. That gives me two references as to where I am (iball & iphone) and as the maps are the same so I can quickly flit between the two to see my position. Also, should my back up navigation equipment (iphone) fail I can quickly revert back to the primary paper one.
