Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I appreciate the replies.

I forgot to add one more problem that rears it's ugly head each time. By using the active sonar to get target range, I typically use three pings each time, sending that data to the TDC. Now then, according to the 3 minute rule, I should be able to stop the chronometer right at 3 mins, then plot the 2nd mark. BUT, it's at this point that I need to record the bearing via the sonar station, and then ping the target three times. By the time I'm done doing all this, it's at least 3.5 mins. So, even when I switch to the NAV map and pause the game, I've already gone over the 3-minute rule by a good 25-30 seconds.

Surely I can't be the only one using this method and experiencing the same frustration?
