Correct... but also, IRL, speed was more often measured by plotting target's course over time (like, a day) and just dividing the distance travelled by the time taken... which you can also do in the OLC GUI by using the nomograph and/or the speed charts (both of which I stole - I'm not credit-grabbing! ).
