Now that I've gone back to map contacts on I use this tool a lot less (as I simply mark the contacts bearing with a pencil and after so many lines chart their course). But it still gets useful if I'm running in fog and can only get so many visual reports everyonce in a while.

Now I have one question, (sorry for the hijack), but does anyone have a tutorial to plot things with map contacts off?

Question re hydrphone tracker: Can it be used with accuracy when my boat is moving or must my boat be stationary? The readme indicates my boat can be moving.
