paper chart
Non-digital nautical guide
A paper chart is a navigational map printed on paper, used by sailors and pilots before digital systems became standard.
The term now appears mainly in contrast to electronic charts: The captain keeps paper charts as backup.
In medical contexts, a paper chart is a patient's physical file of records, as opposed to electronic health records.
