Do you guys know what this pink line on the terrain display mean? I was flying near Fiji (180 W)

The blue is water, the magenta is a color I haven't seen before on the Terrain Display.

I found this statement for one type of EGPWS:

 

"If no terrain data is available in the terrain database, then this area is displayed in a low-density magenta color."

 

That could explain why the magenta area is so well-defined.

 

I don't know anything about this display but should water be shown when flying at 30,000 ft?

Yeah I get this when heading to Hawaii from Fiji way, it lasts for most of the trip, just empty pacific ocean which the EGPWS has no data on.

Yes, if you have the show water option on.
