Is there a wall in front of 26 as it shows in the map or is that wall just the normal seat where the tv and foot rest are. I am thinking that was just the way to draw it so it didn't seem open in front.
It's a half wall, mostly to separate the exit door from the seats, and give them somewhere to rest their feet. You can see over it, it's basically the back part of the seats with no seat actually attached to it if that makes sense.
As far as seeing what's going on around you, I do as well, but what I really liked is the a380 has 3 cameras -one mounted on the tail, one on the undercarriage, and one on the wing, so when I wanted to look out I swapped my AVOD to that rather than trying to peer out the window. That might be something for you to consider.
