Not sure what you mean by Satellite overlay screen, but ...


IOW, you could overlay a real satellite image of the terrain around
you. That way at night with an engine out you could bring up the
display of the satellite image below and around you and see that the
black area out the window is a farmer's field and not a bed of
granite or unforgiving trees.
I'd definitely like to see with regard to engine out operations is
implementation of the same "cone of safety" feature the Chelton
screens


If you mean it shows a cone of the ship's best glide range, then YES
I will add that also to my wish list!!

You do know that some of the satellite images available are fairly old?
There is one thing about big empty fields. They get stuff built in them from
time to time.
