Seat map display on united.com now shows "unavailable" for all seats in J when searching for fares trying to use a GPU.
I am pretty sure it used to show the up-to-date seat map before.
Is this new that it doesn't show the proper seat map?

With PZ=0 looking at the current seat map was my only indication whether it was even worth risking the W fare. I realize this isn't very accurate, but it's better than nothing.

This can be circumvented by going to https://www.cablepick.net/united, but it's a bit tedious.
(At 23 of 50 booked a few weeks out, I usually risk it for my particular itinerary, in this case.)
