Nevertheless, I don't have an accurate running fix in my head and if someone gives me a position and direction of flight I felt it would be useful to know if they were ahead or behind or were likely to cross from left or right. But it seems that I am overthinking this, thanks for your inputs.

have you thought maybe some people maybe under thinking it? I’ve never heard anyone give there location in that way. But if they do then knowing where you are in similar terms is very sensible. The quickest way will be a readout as you asked. Very easy if you have a second GPS
