Narrative:
The recently updated airport moving map makes it very difficult to use anymore during taxi for several reasons. First; the taxiway centerlines are removed which were extremely useful. Second; there is now so much clutter from all the taxiway designators that the chart is just too 'busy'. Finally; the color shading between the taxiways and surrounding surfaces are nearly identical making it very difficult to differentiate between them.
