Narrative:
We arrived in seattle with no incident. We were originally assigned cargo 7 line 2W. Due to my unfamiliar with the new cargo 7 parking lines; I spun the nose of the aircraft in the wrong direction (I had us facing south; while we were supposed to go east). While we were letting seattle south ramp control know of our situation; operations switched us to cargo 7 line 4E. That allowed us to move straight ahead and then a left turn into our parking spot. The new cargo 7 parking lines aren't in the comply 365 airport info charts yet. While they are in the jepp charts; the layout can be vague for someone not familiar with the layout. Updating the airport info chart will help with these situations.
