Be advised though - the distance scale is calibrated to meters. All that means to go to imperial though is one extra step, not a big deal. That has no impact however on lead angle calculations.

Thanks... This makes my spreadsheet effort ridiculously obsolete especially since the onscreen measuring tools are subject to pixelated interpolation errors.
