What I'm trying to say, but didn't phrase very well earlier, is just look at the trend (or direction) the numbers are going. This will help you more easily react to changes. The same you would look at a standard airspeed indicator, you don't try to figure out the exact airspeed your at right?

Does that make more sense?
