I understand you may all be using it to represent the targeting mechanism of whichever boat you are on though.

So right, I was dissapointed that I couldnt "build" a solution with the TDC by plugging in data I had and observing & updating them over time.

I also hated how few and little fidelity the plotting tools and time stamps were on the map for plotting targets solution.

Ever try plotting a target's course using range data, bearings and time on the SH4 map?...it never gave a useable result...at least not for me. I think Ive even used passive and active sonar bearings and ranges...still no useable results...and this was on non-zigging targets.

I'd like to make use of all tools while stalking targets...for the love of crickets, there is certainly enough time to do it while running an end around.
