In my case the map application hung, presumably waiting for non-existant
flight data since there was a message at one point that mapping services
were not going to be available on this flight (which I ignored and tried
anyway.)
So a reboot is something a flight attendent knows how to do and can do
quickly, versus logging in remotely, killing some application, restarting
some other application, etc. etc. :-)
