I do serious navigation using OpenCPN with the paper style electric charts, I think that is the 'raster' type of chart (which are free from NOAA!!!). I love to see the paper style on the chart plotter. It's very comfortable.

I have a vector style chartplotter using a C-Map chart that I paid money for and that sucks big time. These days I rarely use it.

But I have a paper copy of every place we go and prefer to look at the big picture on the paper chart because there's a lot more there to see. For the new fangled among us you can think of a paper chart as a chart plotter with a 36 inch screen....

I'm not comfortable unless I can correlate the chart plotter to the big picture. If I had to choose between them I'd go with paper every time. Paper doesn't crash,it doesn't fail, and it doesn't require batteries.

On a humorous note. My wife is inclined to zoom and zoom until she's at the minimum range on that horrible vector map chart. I tried telling her there is no more data and most of that was probably from Vancouvers survey in 1790. I'll come down to look at the chart to see where we are and don't have a clue because we're zoomed in so far, but she's convinced it's helping her to see the situation.
