Taws Symbols - Garmin GDL 69A Pilot's Manual Addendum

TAWS Symbols

The symbols and colors in the following figure and
table are used to represent obstacles and potential impact
points on the TAWS Page. TAWS uses yellow (caution)
and red (warning) to depict terrain information relative
to aircraft altitude. Each color is associated with an alert
severity level. Terrain graphics and visual annunciations
also use these color assignments.
Note that obstacle symbols are shown on display
zoom ranges up to 10 NM.
