SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - One simple question. HOW TO READ THE NAUTICAL CHART

Ashikaga · 02-23-18, 05:15 PM

Hey all.... This annoys the living daylights out of me.

The square divided Nautical chart in game (TWoS) is rather cumbersome to read since I never know which minute line I need to look at when plotting a contact or from which side to which side I need to look.....

And no that is not clearly stated in any tutorial in the forum, I have scoured the forum for this.

Lat 56° 35' North and Long 7° 25' West for instance. Where do I start reading the North minutes. Bottom to top ? Bottom to right ? And the West minutes, Left to right ? Top to bottom ? It really annoys me, especially when I want to plot two intersecting lines to find an enemy contact.

Would someone be so kind to clearly state from which direction I should start reading these minutes ? That would be great.
