If where you fly there is a lot of antennas and you often scud run and are dodging these antennas then an obstruction database may be of some use. Yeah, we've got the antennas depicted on both the AvMap and the Lowrance 2000c, and they're nice to have. And some of 'em you don't even need to be scud running to hit. Those danged things are thousands of feet tall around here! Last I heard the tallest man made structure was the TV antenna between Fargo and Grand Forks at 2000 AGL. The vast majority of antennas are much less than 1000.
