Ok now think about the glider going your direction you think might be just above to your left, and the one you think might be just below to your right (they are not threats and are invisible on your tactical display due to stealth).

With (non-stealth) Flarm, this scenario doesn't even raise your heart rate, you knew where everyone was 7 miles out,

Not trying to be difficult but I must be missing something. If they're that close to you (i.e., within 2 km), they're visible even with Stealth.

That's for the standard (Portable) FLARM display I use, of course. I can't say how the glide computer tactical displays might present the information in an "improved" fashion.

If, on the other hand, they don't have FLARM at all, then you don't know where everyone is 7 miles out.
