I still like my paper charts.
Skalnate Pleso (I have 4 copies that I have collected over the years), Sky Atlas 2000 and the Tri Atlas Projects printout charts”

I would highly advise checking his pages out. You can get a lot of detailed charts here, many are much easier to read than the electronic stuff.
I also keep a copy of Burnham’s in my astro box, and an e-copy. The science has moved on, but, the reading is great.
Electronically, I have Cartes du Ceil, Google Sky, Microsoft’s World Wide Telescope, and a an app on my androids called Sky Safari.

It is by far the best product I have ever seen for astronomy. The added information about most of the brighter objects help a lot.
