Hi all,

Just a quick one: why my navigator is able to calculate my position while underwater :o ?

I think he shouldn't be...is there a way to make it not working underwater?

Ah, yes...but celestial fix with lat/long coordinates can't be draw precisely on actual map because we are missing plenty degrees lines...so to me the dead reckoning is still the more accurate! :D

By the way, is there any way to keep just our hydro contact line (dashed would be best) in real navigation please?

That would defeat real nav as you would know your exact current position :yep:

You are clueless. All degree marks are available. Zoom out.

:haha: :/\\!! Yeah, of course...sometime i should take some sleep...
I have great trouble to find out the ennemy precise heading/position using hydro.
I've watched Stoianm tuto using 4 bearing method, but i'm lost...(and not English native)

All degree marks are available. Zoom out.

Degrees yes, but minutes?
How do you plot your precise position without minutes?:hmmm:

You can calculate minutes without having them drawn on the map... anyone who has had to perform navigation with a map (on land or water) has done it.
