i have no doupt that there are very good reasons for navies using the manuevering board . in fact , i am sure that there are very good reasons .
i was talking for methods to use in our game ...comparing yours with mb's one.
for real maps ...yes,maybe triangle will become too small or too big, but if i was a navigator officer ,certainly, wouldn't ignore ''The Four Bearings Method'' (in case that triangle and drawings were 'in' my map)

i have to 'dig' to find the manual for mb that describes the situation (find course-speed-range to target with bearings only) and i will sent it to you to have a look at it . you will see that it needs six bearings(with constant speeds and courses) for collecting only the target's data . it has nothing to do with the uncertainty of our own position.
