Default Reachable landing sites in iGlide

Does iGlide show the reachable landing sites in the current McCready setting ?
Oudie changes landing sites color to Green for reachable sites.
In any case, how important is this feature ?

Yes it does. If set up properly, makeable fields are green, marginal yellow, and unmakeable are red. The arrival altitude will be shown for each. A red dot will be drawn where you will impact intervening terrain. I like the feature, and find it more useful than the amoeba - it does not shade the terrain map, and the arrival altitude puts considerable color on the information.
