Ground altitude alerts

[thammer]

On the new portable device I cannot locate a setting to adjust or turn off altitude alerts. The alerts that turn the screen yellow obscure things too much. I turned that off long ago on my 740’s but I can’t for the life of me find a setting for it.

Menu > Setup > Alerts and Warnings > Terrain Alerts

That doesn’t do it. I still get yellow shading with terrain alerts turned off.

OK, but "alerts" and "shading" are two different things. Did you turn off "Show Terrain Shading"?

 

[thammer]

Yes, that was the first thing I turned off. It had no effect. I also have terrain alerts turned off. I have also turned off "Show Highlights on Map" but I need to test that one on my next flight.

OK, thanks for confirming. Sounds like you might have found a bug. I would suggest you report your experience via the internal bug reporting capability: https://adventurepilot.community.fo...a-bug-report-from-within-the-ifly-efb-app.26/
