You may call it a rough estimate but it can be remarkably accurate. Remember the wind speed and direction you use with the CRP is only a forecast (guess) so the calculated answer is based on an assumption anyway!

As the others say, draw a line, parallel to a nearby VOR to get Trk(m) and you could always notch your chinograph with a distance scale.
