Beags, you forgot to add that the EGPWS, just like GPWS before it, also reads out the height above ground during final approach, just like a well trained PNH (or NHP, take your pick)

Minimums, 50... 40... 30... 20... 10...

...and of course it also shows you all the lumpy bits ahead, if you decide to do a go-around and shouts at you like a real instructor if you don't pay attention.
