I get the mark tool and wait until it moves a bit. Then I slap an X down the ship's stern.

There is your difference. You ask your crewman to come up with a range, ... based on what? Or rely on the all knowing GPS-accurate map-updates.

The other way is to relate size features to angles and thus range. That involves alot more.

[EDIT] Not saying any one method is better. Just different.
