That will tell you the exact AoB that you yourself entered, so that doesn't really tell you anything, unless the PK is running, in which case the course won't change, so there's no need to keep working out what the AoB is. AoB changes relatively, course does not as it is absolute. Entering the course on the 3D TDC will allow you to enter the precise course, without doing any intermediate steps (which add a step for error to be introduced and increas workload). Once you've worked out the course, you know what the course is.

Centre. The pips are about 400 yards wide, so there shouldn't be too much variation.
