So all travels to new planets require 2 jumps. One to get near and measure the rotation, and one to actually land. I’d prefer something more efficient.

Also there is the assumption that the surface rotational velocity is constant over time. This is only true for solid planets without gas or liquid centers. Insides can spin at different speeds than the surface.
