I believe this flight does not have moving map. Even with a moving map, on one of my previous flight on AA from JFK-LAX, we apparently flew over New Orleans, and at that point I really thought I made a wrong flight. After some research I found out that my flight has taken an unusual route because heavy thunderstorm around Central US area.
