I just installed 4.00 & the obstacle database as well. I now see very
small new triangular icons all over the place on the map page. Dragging
the pointer over one reveals an obstacle name and height (now at my
desk I forget if it was AGL or not). Maybe on an approach for awareness
it could be handy, but I felt like the screen was suddenly way too
cluttered with obstacles. Of course I was looking over the city of San
Francisco.
