Older paper maps are harder to read when modern maps have different colors and shapes so the subject is easier to identify and the map can be easily read.

A map on the internet may be more correct than a paper one because it can be easily changed and you don't have to reprint a whole new map. You may also be able to see different kind of maps with a push of a button, a printed map you might end up having to buy multiple maps to get what you need. Online is just easier access and faster, but you need to have a connection or trust that your map works. Paper is reliable because you can only destroy it physically.

Paper maps are cumbersome and can’t be zoomed in like internet maps. Virtual maps can easily change scales and be marked on without permanently damaged.
