Is it possible to get a speed and course estimates using sonar. The same way that you can, using the periscope and stadimeter? As far is I can see all you need is range and bearing data collected over a period of time. Can you aquire this using the sonar clicking the send to tdc buton as you go then go to periscope view and press the estimate speed button. Or do you have to do it manually, cos this would be cool.
