In a super cub, paper map on the back seat (under the cushion or handed to the passenger if I have one so it can't blow away). A6 kneepad, small tablet running sky demon duck taped to the kneepad. Plot in my shirt pocket, pen on the kneepad. Watch velcroed to the panel so I can change it when the battery dies. Spare glasses in the map pocket with anything else potentially useful such as airfield visual charts and a bottle of water. Don't often need the paper map.
In a balloon (hopper, no basket) the tablet goes in a map case round my neck, altimeter on my wrist, radio if I take it in my pocket, with safety string. Ditto phone for retrieve. Glasses in a pocket on the harness, in a very solid hard case. So far I've not trashed the tablet on landing, but I have managed to lose a phone, at least until crew called me on it. Paper map stuffed inside my shirt or in an under seat pocket not accessible in flight. I can always get it out after landing.
