We used to do that also (three or more bearings if possible) on a 30
ft boat. But, having learned ot use it, I have a different opinion.
You haven't said where you sail.

Our homeport is Carabelle, Florida. It is in the Florida panhandle SW
of Tallahassee.

THe only sailing I have done in the panhandle was on a Sunfish
knockoff, about 40 years ago. I didn't need radar there at the time.

But to say it is "just an expensive gadget" without knowing how to use
it is a stretch.
