Default Glass vs. Charts

Mxsmanic wrote:
When you are flying (and assuming you have a GPS with electronic chart
databases), do you usually use paper charts for navigation (looking up
frequencies, checking for restricted airspace, etc.) or do you look it up on
your GPS, and why?

I have the MX20 Moving Map with ChartView coupled to my GNS480.
While I do carry paper enroutes and VFR sectionals with me,
I tend not to look at them. The electronic charts as well
as the 480's database tells me nearly everything I need to know.
That with data accumulated in my preflight planning usually
covers it.
