GW & latitude and longitude messages

[Segwin]

Just starting a career with the GW mod.

I received a radio message that stated this:


SSS 45.29N 09.45W

SS Bosnia


Should I look for this contact? I don't see anyway to plot a course using LAT & LON readings.

TIA

Eye candy, making it more realistic and giving it more "in the era" look. Some messages are usefull, some are not, you never know. But it's mostly eye-candy!

except in the indian ocean. If you get a "real" contact report (not a scripted one) it will be in lat and long. Grid system wasnt implented there.

Hi Segwin, welcome to TGW. You can obtain the grids for those Longitude and Latitude from this link http://www.ubootwaffe.net/quadrant.cgi

Thanks for the welcome aboard and the link. I converted the message I received and would need a tanker beside me to get to that location however, it nice to get some radio messages to keep things interesting.
