:p Gotta agree with you there. What nitwit would go spinning around on a pitching slippery deck with a set of binocs clamped to their eyes! They'd go right on spinning overboard (especially as doing so tends to be very disorienting).

Always first turn to where you want to look, then flic mouse wheel to bino's and scan. Seems natural to me - I never used the bearing indicator pre-GWX2.1 anyway as it just never occurred to me to do it that way.
