But it's funny you bring this up, AvPlan now appears to feed ADS-B traffic as well as AvPlan traffic over the datalink...
I don't suggest flying head down watching traffic on a screen and trying to avoid it by relying on the position on the screen being in real time. It would be useful for situational awareness even if there was a significant delay, you would be able to see inbound/outbound/circuit traffic well in advance so you have an idea of what you will be expecting prior to attempting to make contact via radio.
