Terrain/Obstacle Database Areas of Coverage
The following describes the area of coverage available in each database. Regional definitions may
change without notice.
NOTE: Obstacles 200’ and higher are included in the Obstacle Database. It is very impor-
tant to note that not all obstacles are necessarily charted and therefore may not be con-
tained in the Obstacle Database.
Navigation Database
As explained in the “Premature Descent Alerting (PDA)” section (page 56), Garmin TAWS Premature
Descent Alerting (PDA) algorithms utilize data contained in the navigation database. It is therefore impor-
tant to also have the latest navigation database installed to ensure correct TAWS alerting.
