If SD would be willing to implement a GDL90 extension for bearingless targets I would be happy to support this extension in Stratux EU. There has already been a discussion to implement something like this, but it only makes sense if EFBs suppor it:

https://github.com/b3nn0/stratux/issues/39

@Tim: Are you open to something like this? I think we could easily develop a commonly adapted extension, as I know other EFB developers that have shown interest in this aswell.

GDL90 is just the better protocol over Flarm-NMEA - with the exception of that missing feature, IMO.
