Navigating the Kiel Canal
 
I am running SH3 with GWX and would like some help navigating the Kiel Canal. I have found the automatic course plotter for the Kiel Canal and I know where the Canal In navigation point is. What I can't locate is the out point. I have even tried plotting the out course from my dock location but it does not match up correctly. Where should I steer to to use the Out course? Can someone assist?

Thanks

Odd
I normally just bring up the Patterns - select out route then click on the nav to follow course and boat sails off ok
Try moving the boat forward first then click rturn to course through Nav

Well it worked that time, go figure. On my first attempt the course plotted east overland. I even deleted it and replotted to make sure I hadn't hit in instead of out.

Oh well it seems to work now.

Thanks

Sounds like you hit the inbound pattern
So the plot will go from your sub to the start of the inbound point :up:

When I saw that little button I had just gotten done plotting my way all through that little canal. When I went to try it on my next patrol, it didn't seem to work. The course was plotted but it went to the east and I wanted out. I clicked on both out and in and I still couldn't get the plot ti align right.

Do you have to be in a certain position to get it to work?
Or, can you move a bunch of waypoints together as one? (Then I could manually position them all over the canal.)

Thanks!:up:
