Or do i just have to guess its course and line up 90 degrees to that.
If you want go really hardcore, download this manual from 1941:

What you need is Case XI "To determine course, speed, and relative position of a target by bearings alone" , page 26 on the pdf. To be able to use case XI you need to understand "Techniques used in case IX", page 22 in the manual.

A somewhat less theoretical approach could be Hitman's "Angriffsscheibe":

I believe Hitman also made an excellent manual of how to make and use an attack disc that were used in submarines of that era. You should be able to find that one as well, if it wasn't already on the files that you can download from the link above in the link.
