SQ allows this, by selecting the audio channel first, then switching to the map.
I would like to see the ability to lock on to 1 map screen of your choice, rather than cycling.
Given that the map is a broadcast channel, they could tag each map page with a code, so the seat head only updates the screen when it reaches the select tagged map.
Maybe other, which might be confusing for some passengers, would be to show the nearest 5 planes, and where they are going to, on the larger regional map.
