My suggestion:

Your FLGS should carry either wet- or dry-erase vinyl map sheets plus the appropriate markers. Both hex and grid patterns are available. Do a hand sketch on the map sheet as part of your pre-game preps.

Alternately, just hit up an office supply store for about a 2'x3' dry-erase board. Depending on how your gaming area is set up, you can either hang it on the wall and use it for reference for the room, or you can lay it flat on the table and put minis or counters directly on it (though you'll need to be somewhat careful about drawing to scale if you do this). I've always liked having multiple dry-erase surfaces when running Reflex (or other system with fluid initiative) because I can use a secondary one for initiative tracking.
