Garmin G530 terrain

After long time flying the TBM I did a flight in the analog C172 and I noticed the Terrain map is black ( no colors shown) I'm in the beta with all updates done.

Any idea?

Regards

Nooooo! 

In the words of the legendary Rutger Hauer as Roy Batty in Blade Runner  -  "Not... Yet!.." 

You need to tell us how you solved it to help another person that might have the same problem!   That is how it works.  :smile:

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

Ok I'm sorry. I asked the same question over at the Flight simulator forum and the answers are:I’m guessing either you are on the ground, so no terrain info will show, or you are so high above terrain, nothing will show. I think when you are above terrain by a certain amount (I don’t recall the exact number, and it might be different for different avionics), you don’t see terrain info

.The terrain map is only relative terrain, not absolute. You will only get colors as you get near enough to the ground to have them be displayed.

hope this helps. 

(when it was black i was flying btw)
