now I have a question of my own:
when using the estimate speed function of patch 1.3, the estimate comes from your range and bearing inputs. If you enter range correctly, you get a correct course and speed estimate. I've found it to work beautifully.
I've also found that when I enter range incorrectly I get CRAZY course and speed estimates. And I would expect that, as it is only giving me an estimate based upon my inputs.
My question is how many of the previous inputs does it use when estimating course and speed? Just the last two? The last 5? All of them in the last X minutes?
The situation I'm thinking of is if I am tracking target A and decide to switch to target B, which is moving in a different direction at a different speed, and I take two range and bearing measurements will I get the correct course and speed? Or will the speed estimate be made with ALL of my inputs and thus provide me with some nutty course and speed info?
