Modern maps are mush easier to edit because you can change parts of them without having to make an entire new map. Also, there is probably a way to collect information and have it automatically upload to a map. That would help prevent mistakes.

Digital maps can be changed and modified faster and more efficiently than hand held maps. They're more accessible because they can be downloaded and they are cheaper than paper maps. Paper maps can be ripped, torn, and destroyed, it's not as organized.
