Is that what those yellow bearing line flashes are? That's good to know.

Every so often, the contact updates on the chart. If you take could get two good fixes at 3 min apart, you just divide the yards by 100 to get speed. So let's say the two fixes are 1000 yds apart, then the sub is going 10 kts. If there were a protractor tool or a more intelligent cursor, you could get course and bearing to ownship.

I remember there being some pretty good chart tools with SH. I hope we can get something similar in CW to do things old school, if there isn't already. Right now, I'd have to eyeball it or put physical tools to my screen, obviously not ideal.
