Obviously integrating a thing like that into an aircraft would not be completely simple but you could run it on a laptop and get good results.
One thing which I wish ADSB had is the frequencies being monitored by the aircraft. You could put that in the track label and know immediately how to make contact.
There is a wealth of information in ADSB but we are not really using it at the moment.
There's an even easier solution. iPad apps like Ozrunways shows ADSB traffic as long as you have a data connection. Perhaps we should be looking at ways to have a data connection in the vicinity of busy aerodromes?
