Hi
I didn't think that i would find these answers on google, though i did find out that the GPWS doesn't have a terrain mapping function, however my question still stands:

What would this weather system be, is that the weather radar? and does it pick up ground elevations from its beams as well as the weather condition to be displayed on the nav displays?

I would like to know what this weather system is that's providing the tarrain mapping, i presume its the weather radar and that it is using radar beams to check for weather in addition to providing altitude though i'm still not sure
