Interesting. This must be an innovation in the "A" series, because my 4
year old G-1000 doesn't have it.
In fact, it's worth mentioning that the A series control boxes appear to be
almost totally revamped internally. A lot fewer discrete components than
the earlier ones, and entirely different schemes for adjusting the display.
On my G-800SA, the overlap light comes on if there is a wiring fault. All
in all, seems like continuous improvement at work...
