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

It's now offset from forward by 30 degrees so should never interfere with the trajectory line. We've also added the climb/descent indicator.

That was a good improvement. However, in portrait mode, and subject of course to the zoom setting, the label with the relative altitude of a bearingless target can still be covered by the "instruments" and "current location/Find" field. 

A 45 deg offset would fix this.
