 # Enabling and Displaying Terrain Data
 
-To display altitude above terrain in iNav, the OSD element **“Rangefinder distance”** must be enabled. If terrain data are
-available on the SD card and no valid data are available from a dedicated rangefinder, the value calculated by the terrain
-system will be displayed. If a rangefinder is present and providing valid data, its measurements always take priority and the
-actual distance to the ground will be shown.
+There are two OSD elements that can display altitude above terrain:
+
+- **“Terrain AGL”** — a dedicated element that shows the altitude above ground level calculated **exclusively by the terrain
+  subsystem**. Rangefinder measurements are never shown by this element. If no valid terrain value is available, dashes are
+  displayed. Use this element if you want to see the terrain-derived value regardless of whether a rangefinder is fitted.
+- **“Rangefinder distance”** — behaves as before. If a rangefinder is present and providing valid data, its measurements
+  always take priority and the actual distance to the ground is shown. Only when no valid rangefinder data are available and
+  terrain data are present on the SD card is the value calculated by the terrain system displayed instead.

   - Verify `terrain_enabled = ON` is set and saved (`set terrain_enabled = ON` → `save` → reboot)
   - Confirm the SD card is mounted: check `status` in the CLI for SD card state
   - Confirm a valid GPS fix is present before expecting any terrain value to appear
