Default P3-Orion: How to triangulate/target ESM-only contacts?

I've tried figuring this out on my own for a while now, but I'm stumped. Playing the Campaign:North Korea mission in a P-3 Orion, I'm tasked to damage the airport and take out (or provide uplink data for) the SSM sites. I have no problem detecting and ID'ing the ESM emissions from SAM sites and the airport, but of course this only gives me a Line Of Bearing, with a max-limit from Ownship that leaves the mark in the middle of the ocean at point of first detection.

It's kind of funny clicking on the detected airport and seeing it floating way up in the air over the water, but not very helpful Naturally the closer I get to shore the closer the mark gets, and eventually way inland. And then I'm in range of the SAMs.

I've tried to figure out some way to triangulate but I can only draw circles on the navmap, no lines. I try the 'R' key since it says it's a ruler, but all it does is draw a circle that's the same as the 'draw circle' tool, and disappears when I release the mouse (yes, show lines is on). I can wait for the task force to attack the targets but that's not as much fun as shooting my own missles

Show Link Data is on, and the sites aren't on the link since that's MY task hehe.

For what it's worth I had the same problem in the previous mission, Strait of Malacca, with same platform/task. I resorted to Show Truth On since I couldn't figure this out

Any help/advice would be appreciated. Great game, but a heckuva steep learning curve, and I have a ways to climb yet
