You're apparently unaware that we had Earthbound radar that could map the Moon in the late 60s. This is the sort of oversight that undermines your credibility, because this is simple information easy to find online.
As for where to aim the radar, a simple 60° sweep in the direction of the Moon would do the trick, because at some point in its flight, a proper lander would have to, you kow, approach the Moon. This objection is rendered especially silly when you consider that the Russians, as well as the Americans, had radars pointed in the general direction of North, and sweeping 60° arcs, because they didn't know exactly where the enemy's bombers would come from. In other words, the radar was used to pinpoint the location of objects whose location was uncertain.
It's kind of why radar was invented, I think.
It's clear to me that you haven't thought through your objections. You are latching onto stuff that sounds "sciency" but don't have much, if any actual knowledge of the principles and techniques at hand.
