Two questions

Hello all, two questions, perhaps the wrong forum if so mods feel free to move...

1. I was in SFO a couple of days ago, and saw a ANA either a 767 or 777, as the gear was being retracted i saw "smokepuffs" from the maingear, is this the brakes being applied before stowage? is it made automaticlly or bye the crew?

2. where does inflight "moving maps/flightinfo (speed, alltitude, head/tailwind, ETA) system get its info from, is it a stand alone system or has it got a link to the FMS? I guess there is a lot of different systems for this but feel free to tell about the once you know about...

Regards
Raffi
