Also the reason I was thinking of 'matching my heading to his was so that these reading would change less as I was taking his temperature compared to, say, moving at right angles to him.

Anyway - thanks again.
Uh ... I don't see how you can mark the 3.5 minutes first since the object is to find out his speed/course, and you have to take range and bearing to target on 3.5 minutes then mark that on the chart and get his speed from that.
