When traffic is coming in the opposite direction, the closure can be quite fast. The GRT traffic popup is set at a 2 mile radius. I suggest this should be 3 miles, or better yet, adjustable by the pilot.
How about it?

Re: Traffic Popup Radius
Adjustable by the pilot would be nice.
Re: Traffic Popup Radius
On a related note: The airspeed tape gets covered by the traffic popup. Normally this is not a problem. But when flying in formation, it would be nice to be able to see the airspeed tape once in a while. That's not possible currently. I'd like to move it or eliminate the popup occasionally.
Re: Traffic Popup Radius
I think this is more of an issue low and slow. At my airport there are parallel runways so when in the pattern with another airplane the airspeed tape does not show Vfe, etc. A possible safety issue in my opinion.
