My question is: At which distance do you guys take these measurements?
And: Do you stick to the speed reported in a convoy contact message or do you take a measurement yourself to make it more accurate?

I use high zoom for measurements until the target is too big (too close) to fit into measurement lines, then I switch to low zoom. If I am submerged, I usually wait until I can make accurate measures (at least 2km from the target).
I calculate it's speed using 3:15 method while he is still far away to spot me, and if I am not positive on it I use the "count the seconds which takes the target to cross your vertical periscope line" method to confirm it's speed.
