Narrative:

This flight was to relocate an antique war bird. The route of flight was planned to the daggett (dag) VOR then on slightly eastward to avoid the large restricted airspace located generally southwest of las vegas; nevada. Preflight planning included a weather briefing and use of the current chart applicable to the route; including a review of the restricted airspace. Upon departure; radar flight following was utilized as an additional safety net while operating in the vicinity of restricted airspace. The flight flew to the dag VOR and then went slightly east as planned. Then the turn was made in a northerly direction along the planned route. The flight was using GPS navigation with moving map to aid in navigation. La center initially advised that our aircraft had entered R-2502E. We were positive that we were clear of all restricted airspace. A vector (turn) to exit was offered and immediately complied with by the flight crew. Then la center offered that our flight had entered R-2502A. This area was not depicted on the GPS moving map display. This is a new area that has been recently added as a restricted area. This area was located on our current sectional map. La center offered no warning until the advisory that the flight penetrated the R-2502A. This situation occurred after failure of multiple safety safeguards. The crew was aware of the restricted airspace from the preflight planning. The crew was utilizing radar flight following/advisories. The lack of the depiction of the restricted area R-2502A on the moving map; the lack of any warning by ATC prior to the penetration of restricted airspace; [and] the lack of any information by chart; controller; or NOTAM that R2502A was a new and problematic area and a recent change/addition were contributing factors.

Title: An antique war bird entered R-2502E then R-2502A as it transited north because the GPS moving map did not display R-2502 and ATC failed to notify about the airspace violation until the aircraft was in it.
