There is no "predictive" algorithm.


This does appear to be true.. The previous flarm protocol is
documented here

I haven't personally verified (all) of it, but it certainly has all the
marking that it is correct, and there really doesn't appear to be any
'prediction' there at all. A similar document for the new protocol exists
too, it shouldn't be too hard for you to find it.

I would like comments from those who said there was prediction. What
made you think there was, how does this change your thinking and
have you heard the tale of the Emperor's New Clothes?


This link concerns the radio protocol for communication between Flarms - the proprietary nature of which is what the OPs petition is about - but that is a separate issue from what Flarm units actually broadcast.
