Calculating speed on the Nav map....?

Yeah, it annoys me too, but I think it is just a limitation of the game engine which can't be worked around.

Although clicking the stopwatch in the periscope/UZO view to start the draggable one isn't that much of a bother...

I have a time application on my Android phone that I use for RC sailplane flying tasks. The timer is extremely configurable.

For instance, you can set the task for 3m15s and have it ring at 3.15, 6.30, 9.45, etc.

You can also have it sound an alarm a set period before the task ends and then count down the seconds till the 3.15 mark. So you can occupy yourself with other things and then get a 15-second warning to remind you it's almost time to mark the map.

I haven't used this with SH3 yet. But I suspect it'll be perfect for it.

Yep...I have a nice android app on my phone too....but the misses already thinks im a sad geek, sitting there with an external timer buzzing at me every 3.5 mins is not going to help my cause...

Well they fixed it in SH4, so they knew about the problem but wouldn't make the effort to fix SH3
BUMMER!

The draggable stopwatch is not clickable, unfortunately. You can only start/stop the watch in the UZO/Periscope screens. The draggable one is just a "repeater".
