This is how I have been estimating speed, with very good results.
No need to mess around with the stopwatch, or estimate speed button, or make your plots exactly 3 minutes apart.
Also has the advantage that over time, as the plot develops, it will tend to become more accurate, as minor deviations in the plot become less important.

Actually i've been meaning to ask for clarification on that. How on earth do you read it? I've been sort of figuring parts of it out myself after reading the tutorial once and that's the one thing i never figured out lol.
Also, how do you guys get a course? Once i have a few plot point's i just use the compass with the ruler and figure the course out with that but i never get it perfectly accurate. I saw someone using a different method so i figure I'm probably butchering the process.
I've got it down accurate enough to fire on someone with only very minor visual adjustment's via periscope once they are in range regardless, which is still fantastic. Again, props Nisgeis!
