For me, I do that too. The tablet is my primary and tied to my stratux for ADSB/weather/GPS for navigation and awareness. Having a list of frequencies and VOR settings on the old junk I use, a marked up map is really handy. I like doing a loop around MSP (KFCM > KLVN > KSGS > KSTP > KANE > KMIC > KFCM) so a lot of frequency jumps. You can see what the EFB is more or less going to look like - so a sharpie on... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
Technically these are referred to as "charts" and not maps. :) Another fun (and free!) resource is SkyVector, which automatically stitches them together and has tons of useful features for flight planning. https://skyvector.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
If you’re in the US you can use skyvector to get most charts, which helps find sids and stars for commercial. For GA I love VOR navigation which are the blue compass roses you see everywhere. You have to dial the given frequency into your nav radio and set the course to intercept it at the desired heading. With two VORS (nav 1 and nav 2) you can triangulate your position without the GPS.

To practice GPS navigation from one place to another, I'll pick a takeoff and landing airport, then go to skyvector.com and input a flight plan. Then I'll choose the 'Routes' link on the right-middle of the flight plan input. Then I'll press the Nav Log button on the bottom right of the flight plan input. From that I'll put in the waypoints into the GPS. Source: 5 months ago
A suggestion for much further down the line: a timeline on the map which composites many maps from a similar time period so you can see them all stitched together (somewhat like how https://skyvector.com/ stitches together multiple sectional charts into a continuous map, though I know it can't be as seamless). - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
If I dont find them on FlightRadar24 I usually use radarbox.com. Source: 11 months ago
You may, or may not know, but you can feed Flightradar24.com , Opensky-network.org , Planefinder.net, and radarbox.com all with the same device. You will get upgraded subscriptions, where they apply. Source: over 1 year ago
I've found several more flights going back and forth from Moscow to Dubai using radarbox.com. Source: about 2 years ago
It looks like it's an exclusive flight for FR24. Can't see it on radarbox.com. Must be a fake flight. Source: about 2 years ago
Https://radarbox.com as well though they censor like Fr24 does but have nice historical search capabilities. Source: about 2 years ago
