Simply draw a line using those mark and you will have the cource.

You can hardly be more accurate than when using the map. especially with AOB.
Now if I do that at the start with the position keeper on, if I calculate the AOB right off the bat with the map, the position keeper keeps track of the change in position, right? I don't want to be constantly going back to the map to do calculations as the position changes.
