This link will lead you to the answer in the Wiki manual:

And yes, when you press the ? icon on the nav map an aid will show up to help you draw those angles with more precision. Some people get confused and think that the aid is upside down (i.e. it has 180 on the top for South and 0 on the bottom for North) but it's perfect just the way it is because when you want to draw something that's going to a certain direction, the line that you drag BEHIND you is what will actually cross the map aid.
I was sinking ships like no buddies' business the other day thanks to this gem of a post. Still need to work out my torpedo solutions though :hmm:

Thanks again
