If one leaves the same plot on the chart, distances are not changed by changing times. So if current vector is 1.5 nm long. And that 1.5 nm is covered in 1/2 hour then the current vectors speed should be 3nm/hr not .75. What am I interpreting incorectly? Thanks.

You're mixing speed and distance. If the speed is 1.5 nm/hr then over 1/2 an hour the distance traveled is 0.75 nm.
