Landing sites in the database are high priority, but also navigation
features like mountains, lakes, rivers and roads are what I want to
see. If I can't easily see a landing site directly, I want to know
what kind of terrain features point it out.
Is this sort of a distrust of the GPS? It will take you there, and it's
only the last few miles where actually picking out the airport becomes
useful.
