KGP 560/860 Pilot's Guide 

The  following  figure  shows  the  Terrain  Display  color  patterns  when  the
aircraft is at higher altitudes, where terrain is a least 250 feet below the
aircraft altitude for the display range selected by the pilot.

The system will adjust colors on the Terrain Display automatically as the
aircraft  altitude  changes.    The  Terrain  Display  also  transitions  between
the lower altitude “relative” display and the higher altitude “peaks” display
automatically, so no pilot action is required for system operation.

Depending  upon  display  type  aircraft  interface  capabilities,  the  Terrain
Display can show various presentations of the terrain around and in front
of the aircraft, i.e. a “rose” or 360° compass view, a 1/3 - 2/3 360° view,
90° or 120° “arc” views with or without a vertical profile.
