You are at one end of the line, your goal on the other...

Zoom (mousewheel) is your friend

Sorry bud but its really that simple...

If you zoom in on the end of the black line you see on the map you will see your sub. Well a black icon/shape representing your sub.

If you can plot the course you have already found the map, I spend 90% of my game time looking at that map.

Hold CTRL and left click will center your ship on the chart to where you have the cursor.

Yup ! good tip. I think its even mentioned <gasp> in the manual.

Your own ship icon is a black circle with a "tail" it will be at one end of the course plot as someone mentioned.

I dont think he was being a smart ass more like trying to be humorous.
