Regarding showing attractions: before my last trip, I made a simple Google map in each city with color-coded pins on the attractions I wanted to see, potential places to eat, and my hotel. Made the time at the destination that much more enjoyable and valuable. One thing a paper map gives you (and this helps replicate) is spacial context.
