And all fleet types except some of the Embraers now have maps.
In fact, three of the earliest 777s that had an older system are being upgraded over the next 6 weeks to have the latest IFE system installed. AC has spent a lot of time and energy to ensure the system works well.
On the IFE not working thread, there are a whole bunch of new posts that would challenge the
"stability" of the IFE.
