Does this work with the map in metric?
Never tested it, but it shouldn't. It has been calculated for the space in yards travelled each 3/5 minutes, however given the small difference, the lack of precission of the map scale at that zoom and such, it *could* more or less work as long as you don't want the ultimate exactitude.

A quick and easy way to check this is as follows: Put the map in the proper scale, set your submarine's speed to f.e. 12 knots and course exactly to the north. Drag the plotter over the submarine so that the 0 mark aligns with the current position of it and start the in-game chronometer. If the submarine arrives at the proper marks (6 knots, 12 knots or whatever speed you selected) after 3 or 5 minutes (Depending on the scale you chose, left or right) then it is also good for metric users.
