This afternoon I had an opportunity to encounter about 6 aircraft that were showing up on my iFLY as traffic alerts. I was wondering if it would be possible to annotate each traffic marker with a number representing the target altitude in thousands of feet. This would us the ability to quickly resolve any threats with an appropriate action without waiting for the text alert to scroll through all of the targets -- saving valuable time reading instruments at the precise time (nearby aircraft) that I prefer to keep my attention outside of the cockpit. I think the altitude overlay would be much easier to process than trying to visualize what the heading,distance,altitude information corresponds to in the display.

I believe someone in an earlier thread also mentioned how small the targets appear on the screen. I agree that the current representation is not easy to see. Maybe if the targets were solid instead of a hollow icon? The course line for an active flight plan is very similar in color, making it hard to pick up on the traffic as well.
