Narrative:
After takeoff we got the GPWS terrain audio warning. Continued the climb as normal. We had all the surrounding area in sight and no terrain was an issue. Database for this location in the GPWS system is incorrect. Chief pilot was notified of this GPWS warning and issue has been passed on to our safety and tech ops people and they will be contacting honeywell.
