New moving map

Sorry if I have missed this in other posts, but the moving map has changed.

On a MAD - LHR flight yesterday on a A320 there was a new version of the moving map. Screen views change and it is difficult to explain the differences but here goes:

simulated view from the cockpit;
information about time, speed, height etc running along the bottom of the map rather than a page of their own;
but such information sometimes (rarely) as a page;
less extensive map so it tends to focus on the route rather than show Japan;
but small sub-screen pf world with day/night appears from time to time;
graphic show plane whooshing on a green arrow across the land from different angles.

A more entertaining version.
