The moving map was worked by "Doppler" and that also showed on the Doppler Ground Speed and drift instrument above it. The First Officer put the Doppler map position right occasionally when passing a fix. Then it did its own thing by applying its own calculated speed and drift. It did not, in my experience, do this very well and I always said that Doppler was only right when the First Officer had put it right!
