I’ve mentioned this before but I’m going to do it again in hopes it will sometime happen: I’d like to see more bold terrain highlighting of towers when I’m below their altitude. The thin red circle now shown just doesn’t show up in ‘sectional’ mode and in ‘vector’ mode it’s not all that obvious either. I am frequently flying amongst some and I would sure feel safer if they were more attention attracting. It seems to me that this would not be that big a deal to implement.

Jim,

Thanks for the great feedback. We do have that on our Wish-List and I just made a recommendation to make the Towers larger and possible even shade in the red circle. I'd even love to see only the Tower in concern be shaded, example if there is a tower 3 miles behind you, do you really need to see it called out. Maybe we show it if within a set altitude and then only highlight it if it is near your track or flight path. Just some thoughts. Stay tuned, this will likely be added in the near future.
