I try to pic route near enemie ports, somwhere between them, near shiping lanes etc.
if you cruise on Fuel saving mod (about 9Kt), what i do, go submerged every 1 hour interwal and do manual Sonar Sweap, if no contact then Surface and qontinue to reute
anyway medium speed of ships is ~9 Kt/h so it lowers possibility to miss one within Sonar range no matter if his speed is even 18Kt or 5Kt

P.S.
Never ever trust your Sonar man if he has low experience and even if he has, you better check your self "Sound Contacts"!!!
