Squawk, although I've posted many times on this forum that there is NO substitute for a good lookout (including ADS-B in), what I was referring to above was a side-by-side comparison of the two products in question.
Although the traffic display on Ozrunways is significantly easier to read in the cockpit (plus if you tap on the symbol it enlarges) and just better IMO,...if it looks like a quiet day out there in the Ozrunways world, a quick glance at Avplan would show that it isn't!! User beware.
FWIW, my biggest concern with SkyEcho and similar EC products is, like the warnings we ignore on firing up the GPS (you know you do - admit it..) the risk of the user placing even more reliance on the device showing them everything out there than they usually see on their EFB. Perhaps, in that regard, Ozrunways mere 'tease' of surrounding traffic is a good thing??
