Another potential problem is that terrain warning systems are designed to keep

I wonder about the same thing with XM in-plane weather (apparently)
showing thunderstorm location in great detail. I could see some
pilots being drawn in too close, based on the data shown on their
screens, and then finding out too late that they are in the bad stuff.
