The information is displayed. For it to be of any use, it would require a rapid refresh rate.
Now think about the bandwidth needed for several 'GPS' transponders to do this.

Flarm does this; GPSs that talk to each other within 1-2nm. Developed for glider pilots in the Alps.
Not proposing or advocating anything, just pointing out a nifty bit of kit.
