AvPlan soon showed us going in different directions although I never saw him at all.
Along the lane NE of Melbourne I only saw some traffic because I looked where AvPlan indicated. Centre advised of one that I was already aware of from AvPlan. Passenger in the back saw them before I did - as I was more interested in looking for others who may be around but not showing on AvPlan.
