I use a phone for traffic awareness connected to a PilotAware.  I set the phone to the traffic screen and it make it easy to spot stuff that comes in range.  However it doesn't show bearingless target at all.  Any chance of just having the detected aircraft ID colour coded somewhere on the screen with relative altitude?  It would make it a lot easier to decide whether an altitude change would help separation.  I know I can get the info from the ring drawn around my aircraft on my tablet display but it can be difficult making out the relative altitude against the map background and my aircraft trajectory line

Thanks
Dek

Could you perhaps post a screenshot here illustrating a situation you believe is hard to read?

Here is one screenshot that exemplifies the problem:



The problem is exarberated because (at least in Track-Up mode) the aircraft trajectory line is across, and on top, or the relative altitude of the traffic target.

Pls also see this topic, posted here under "Suggestions" Relative Altitude of Traffic Targets. As I already made the case there, another problem is the way the most critical part of the information (namely whether the target is above, or below me) is depicted. Currently, above is denoted by "+", and below by "-". That is, the difference is four or six screen pixels that are difficult to make out.

I do not have the solution, but this part of traffic awareness could benefit from a radical design review.
