Like RFB did with map contacts?

Thinking about possibilities of adding a bit of uncertainty to your own sub's position. You would have a very good general idea of where you are but not exactly, especially at the higher zooms.

Inspiration is the SH5 Real Nav (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=1836879&postcount=4) mod.

Pathetically replying to my own post!

It is possible. I took any *.shp file from the data/sea/(ship name) from RFB 2.0. Renamed it UnitSub UnitSubM and UnitSubL and pasted those three files into the following folder path: pseudo real nav/data/menu/gui/units/ (after creating those folders.) Viola - mini real nav mod.

To take a fix, I can just plot a course (using the buttons).

Not pathetic at all. It's nice when someone figures out a problem and then takes the time to explain it to the rest of us.
