dummy question about sonar tracking

Thanks RR...I should have posted earlier...but I looked at your videos once more and saw you re-position over the boat before taking the range on the subsequent reading.

Sure appreciate your taking the time to post.

Not sure if you've seen it yet, but...

If you're looking for something written, I made a little .pdf tutorial that might help. It mostly focuses on the fundamentals of a sonar intercept and how to use the plotting tools to do it.

Check this thread. The discussion with other subsimmers after my original post may be of use too.

Thanks Jerm,

I did download your tutorial. Very clear. It was my error for not looking closer to the vids that showed that the sub was moving.

I go the concept down pat thanks to all of you.
