Hello guys,
here is another typical "noob-question"

:
How do i get a precise bearing rate for a contact? I know in the Navmap you can find one, but this one only appears after i've done my TMA and its also influenced by it, so its useless for what i had in mind.
I also know that you can just sit there with a stopwatch and calculate it yourself but i would like to know if there's another, faster (and perhaps more reliable) way...
I'm asking this in a new thread because the threads i find with 'Search' do not really answer the question(s) i have. Right now i'm working on a simple program to calculate Target range (and maybe more later) viaŽEkelund with OwnShip data plus LOB (Bearing Rate). So if theres another way to do this (getting a good TMA with (as few as possible) bearings only) this would be also of interest for me...especially if theres already a program for it.
Phil
