whats your favorite way to calculate speed?

The magical stop-watch actually simulates the team work involved in taking distance and range bearings over time. Its the most efficient way of modeling that team interaction considering there is no way to do all that work silmultaneously as it was in real life. I'd love it if I could take a bearing and range reading and relay it to the crew and then start the watch, then after some time take another bearing and range reading and add it all together with the tim elapsed to get a good speed estimate.

What sucks is that they wont even allow you to pause and go to the map to plug all the info in. It just makes everything even more inaccurate...perhaps its a bit more frustrating because I use a S-boat so I lack the luxuary of speed to always set up for shots well in advance, I tend to always arrive with minimal time to spare.
