Terrain Limitations
TERRAIN displays terrain and obstructions relative
to the altitude of the aircraft. The displayed alerts are
advisory in nature only. Individual obstructions may be
shown if available in the database. However, all obstruc-
tions may not be available in the database and data may
be inaccurate. Never use this information for navigation
or to maneuver to avoid obstacles.
Terrain information is based on terrain elevation
information in a database that may contain inaccuracies.
Terrain information should be used as an aid to situational
awareness. Never use it for navigation or to maneuver to
avoid terrain.
TERRAIN uses terrain and obstacle information
supplied by government sources. The data undergoes
verification by Garmin to confirm accuracy of the content,
per TSO-C151b. However, the displayed information
should never be understood as being all-inclusive.
