Thanks. Mocho told me that today at the airport. Despite how we rail
at each other on this forum, we actually get along pretty well.

Considering the accuracy of GPS, I would assume that the database which
alerts users of obstacles is more for awareness than specific avoidance.

I really appreciate a straight answer!

Kindly explain to me how Flarm or Power Flarm prevented someone from

"obstacle database covers Italian, Swiss, Austrian, French and German
obstacles, with updates (functionality at cost)"

That is why helicopters carry Flarm in the Alps.
