Why do they show seamounts on the moving map?

It's a computer that doesn't look like most people's image of a computer.
Also, it has an antenna and this is an RF device with no obvious type certifications. And most of them look like science projects with at least two cables and a brightly coloured dongle. Stuff like that would look 'interesting' on an X Ray.
If it were me, I wouldn't risk the hassle but let us know how it works out if you try.
The easier solution might be to simply purchase WiFi, open up FlightAware Pro on your laptop / tablet and have at it.

Don't those ADS-B receivers depend on having a known, fixed location (including altitude) for proper calculations (esp. MLAT)?
I echo what was said below: window seat and fire up your favourite app. I find FR24 works nicely, and it's cool to see the lag between your phone's GPS position and the indicated position of your flight on the map. Sometimes it can be off by a mile or two, surprisingly sometimes not.

As for shipwrecks, imaging they show the same map on cruise Or perhaps on cruise ships they will show a map with aircraft crashing sites
