If you are handy with scissors, cardboard and laminating foil you can also make a hardcopy version of it. Then you can use it in any station and at any time you want. Or with any game that uses km to measure distance.

There are more 4 bearing methods described here on the forum, under both the SH3, 4 and 5 section. Names of the thread-starters are Mittelwaechter, Nefelodam, Kuikeg, jerm138 and a few I can't recall right now.

Back in the early days I found a neat simple trick on the RAOBF wheel to calculate the intercept lead angle when left without other tools. I'm not a 100% sure it works on the latest scales OLC made in his GUI, or those made by others in their GUIs, but can't imagine why it would not work mathematically. (caveat: I had a migraine headache this morning and am recovering from the flu the past days. YMMV, check the numbers with the intercept formula)
