So far, the extra inaccuracy has been OK, but I am using automatic map updates which makes it easier.
I suppose one could get a really rough guess of target speed by halving the time again (and again? :hmm: )

Is there any chance in SHIII of estimating a ship's speed by the size of its bow spray? That would be cool.
