Noobie: Best way to find bearing and range of a ship without map contact updates?

Hey all, sorry if this has been posted before, I did a quick search and didn't find anything. I'm also sure this is in one of the videos, but I wanted to have it in writing.

I'm using TMO1.7.

1. What's the best way to find the what degree a target is headed without map contact updates?
**So far I have been making a mark, waiting some time, then marking again, and drawing a line through with the ruler. However, this doesnt' work too well for fast ships like warships...

2. What's the best way to find range?
**So far underwater I've been using the sonar station, looking in the direction of a ship, and pressing find range button, then drawing with a ruler on the nav map where it is (because I also have its bearing via the sonar man). I'd imagine it's easy to use radar on the surface.

Thanks ahead of time!
