Narrative:

As I approached the coast, I looked down at my map to check the next altitude of the class B. I inadvertently climbed 200 ft 1 mi inside the 2000 ft ring. I am very aware of airspace. However, when the system requires so many altitude/segments, it is very cumbersome. Instead of looking out for other aircraft in a high density area, pilots are required to bury their heads in maps.
