Dick,
Agree. It believe you will see a new Traffic Instrument or Mode that will have a high-contract traffic view in a near release. I believe Walter decided to include a 60 second projection line for your ownship on that instrument / view.
This is still in the works, but I think you'll like what you see. It allows to keep that Map mode track line and Traffic track line unique and separated while allowing you to quickluy analyze that crossing or near traffic. I hope tihs helps and have a great weekend.
