I was on my way back to KMGJ when suddenly a pop-up window appeared (actually rec 2 different warnings about 1 min apart). It is very similar to the airspace warning pop-up. Inside were the specific details of pending traffic (altitude, heading, airspeed, and where it was in relation to me....8 o'clock - very cool!). There may have been more but I was about to enter the pattern and there was too much traffic to pay much attention to this new feature.

You have to hit a button to acknowledge and then it returns to the sectional (assume it returns to whatever screen you were viewing). Trouble was there was no indication on the moving map of the traffic at all. I tried different zooms but no luck. Do you need to be on a certain mode? Is there a certain setting to change?

Anyway, ADS-B traffic is way too limited (my Gamin 530 was showing about 5 targets at the time) to be of much use today but it is good to know that it does work and the iFly can get the data. Additionally, the data as presented was far more advanced then anything I have seen and made acquiring a visual much easier.

PS - weather has been working flawlessly since I got it setup correctly.
