Default Is FLARM helpful?

experience is all with PowerFlarm, different algorithm? Better GPS?
All the warnings I have
ever gotten in thermals where someone right ahead or right

behind, or turning the other direction.

Perhaps it is a difference between Flarm and Powerflarm, although
I would be surprised if they were using different algorithms. As for
my curiosity, I had not (until your comments) come across a view
different from my own (about the incessant false collision alerts
while thermalling). Note the recent coincidental post at
