SVS provides additional features on the G1000 primary flight display (PFD)
which display the following information :
:
Synthetic Terrain
: an artificial, database derived, three dimensional view
of the terrain ahead of the aircraft within a field of view of approximately 30
degrees left and 35 degrees right of the aircraft heading. The terrain data
has a resolution of 9 arc seconds.

Obstacles
: obstacles such as towers, including buildings over 200 AGL

programmed flight plan path that can be selected for display alone or with
the flight director anytime synthetic terrain is selected for display.
