Yes, color coded bread crumbs for Flarm targets will be great as well. I
believe SeeYou and few other softwares already doing this. Now that powerflarm
is around and become popular in the US as well, will be great to enhance this
functionality which will be very helpful for buddy flying and even team flying
in contests. Looking forward to hear some feedback from developers.
I can't volunteer to implement these features myself but can offer my help with
design and testing.
