It is the way it is because it is part of the TSO.

But the GPS shouldn't suggest that you fly into a tower or terrain. Which
is what it does now. As soon as you pass the MAP point, the SUSP button
starts to blink, begging the pilot to press it and fly to the hold. What
the SUSP should do is blink with the additional message, "no turn until
xxxx altitude." Come one. How difficult is that to program? Given Garmin's
dominant position as an IFR GPS, it's not too much to expect.

I see your point clearly.

However, it appears to me that you want the GPS to do a bit too much
for you. Remember, it is still your responsibility as the pilot of the
aircraft to fly the procedure as published. Do you suppose if the GPS
told you everything you need to know about the approach to fly it
safely you'd be less reliant on the approach plate? I do, and I am not
certain that's a good thing.
