In the window that appears, after pressing the E key, scroll down the mouse wheel to find the required section of the reference book

If you need to move to an area with given geographic coordinates, then you do not need to open the charts, because the degrees of longitude and latitude are marked on the map itself. If your task is to move in a square with a given number, then you can call the grid with the layout of the square: Maps & Map Tools ---> Grid Tool. Place a grid over the square and use the map scaling to match the grid dimensions to the square on the map. In my example, the grid is overlaid on square AN44. If I need square AN4410, then I need to move to the place surrounded by a yellow circle. If I need square AN4437, then I need to move to the blue circle. AN4473 - This location is marked with a green circle.

If you still need angular minutes, then open Maps & Map Tools ---> Nautical lat / long Chart.

Perhaps your window has been minimized and / or moved off the screen (just like in my screenshot you can see only a small piece (tongue) of the Ship Recognition Manual on the left side of the screen). Look carefully around the edges of the screen.

as far as i can tell its not hidden anywhere and this is a fresh install of the game a wolves of steel. is there any button that could maximize it if it is minimized?

I just did a full installation of TWoS 2.2.24 and everything is working correctly for me. By the way, I managed to drag the chart window off the screen so that even the edge of this window was not visible, that is, the chart window disappeared. Perhaps your only recourse is to reinstall the game.

i deleted the silent hunter 5 folder from my documents and steam folder is there anything else i have to delete?

After uninstalling TWoS, C: \ Ubisoft \ Silent Hunter 5 is never empty and needs to be manually cleaned.

If you do not have the game saves that you want to keep, then delete this folder too:
C:\Users\User\Documents\SH5
