The beauty of this comment is that it highlights one "I wish they'd make 
that" product.  A cuesheet/map/navigation/GPS Brevet APP for the Kindle 
paperwhite.  Ideally the device with the paperwhite display would also have 
a camera so you could submit your receipts or proof of passage 
electronically to your RBA.  A device like that would easily fit in the map 
case of your handlebar bag and replace several sheets of paper and in 
principle should allow you to flip between them without having to reach 
inside your bag at all.
