LemonA has got it right. In my sailing days I had a monocular with a READABLE (as opposed to our SH 5 binoculars) bearing scale. I used it all the time for two bearing navigational fixes and various other things. It should be equally useful in SH 5 when close to land for navigation and the results could be plotted on either the TAI or NAV map to update your DR fixes..........Fun and immersive! As to the stability of devices such as the binoculars it's the same on a RL small sailboat as on a sub and, perhaps, worse yet. With practice you get used to it as I have with the SH 5 binoculars.
