Default Is Glideplan still relevant?

Even with a ClearNav and a backup Oudie I still print out a copy of the map before flight.


I now carry my iPad mini with Foreflight, which has a moving map on
sectionals. That makes it a good backup to the ClearNav. Most the use
for the iPad/Foreflight combination is planning airplane style trips in
my Phoenix, so the backup use is "free".
