Default An ADS-B In Question

That is why I never stop looking outside. Even the most complex
electronic system can hiccup now and then and in the case of collision
avoidance it could happen at the worst time. Keep your head out! (Pun
intended)

As for split screen, what I've so far discovered is that the Samsung G4
supports split screen. The Nexus does not unless I want to root the
device and install a custom ROM. I'm not sure I'm ready to try that
yet. Switching back and forth is not so simple with the Nexus as, when
running XCSoar, the electronic "buttons" of the Android are not
available. To switch, I have to touch the power button twice to get
back to the home screen, then the bottom right electronic button, then
select the app I want to run. Better to have two devices (or a device
which supports split screen), or just not mess with such toys in flight.

Thanks for sharing Dan.

I have the two programs running on a Galaxy S4 and neither AVare or xcsoar appear to support split screen.

It is just one question. No, or buy this and do this. So far switching back and forth is all I can do.

As far as opinions go I do agree that seeing only some traffic and thinking you are seeing it all is very dangerous.
