Cross country question? How is it done today?

Years ago I learned that, for a 40ish to 1 ship, you could hold out two fingers at arm's length such that the top of the fingers rests on the under side of the horizon. Anything visible below the second finger is reachable at your present altitude. Give it a try! I suppose 3 fingers would work just fine for a 1-26. Great tip, but it's probably 4 fingers for a 1-26, and another finger for a slight head wind. I'll try it!
