If FLARM did have 50 mile range this could tell you a lot
about the conditions ahead. As a thermal finder pretty
useless at that range.

I went to a talk by Erazem of LXNAV in March. He said
that LXNAV are looking to include live data to and from
the cloud during flight in order to provide the pilot with
this information. We shall have to ban or nobble the LX9000
when that happens!
