It's pefectly normal to let the crew do their jobs in AOD (I have played only a couple of missions in SH1, so I haven't much to say there).
Since the resolution is very limited, you - as a human player - can't determine visually where a ship is heading unless it's within a few hundred meters range. The computer crew just compensates for that limitation.
As they also set up the TDC, you can get the direction and speed of your targets without having to look at the map. Just mark the target and let the crew enter the data for you (though I think you already know that). That's probably the only way to avoid the "god's eye" view of the map.
