A look below and you can see it is easy to narrow down your location to within 1 degree at a glance.
Furthermore, the fact that each degree of latitude or longitude is 120km, should make it easy to refine your position to within 1/10th of a degree.
I have checked and one degree of longitude remains 120km wherever you are on the map. It is a flat world.
I'm sure you could convert that to minutes if you wanted. Not sure of the maths but I know it is a straightforward conversion.
Just checked in game. I thought that maybe when you sent a patrol report it would have your position on it. I sent the report but could not find a log of it anywhere!
If you are looking for a script that gives a much more precise location, that is beyond my capability, sorry. Maybe someone else can help.
Hope this helps.

Sergei,
Thank you very much for the response, and your efforts!
I certainly hope that it will be possible to mod a KM grid or maybe the devs show some mercy and patch it in.
However, to give some general idea what we are doing and what we need it for:
http://operationspinnennetz.isaf.us/mapstatus.htm
Basically, our skippers report their status, position and so on as an encoded message to a receiving station, and said station uses a special version (props to Canovaro for his support) of the OS (Operation Spinnennetz) client to forward the status of the boat to the map, where it will be shown.
A relative precise and easy to get position fix would be preferable to include SH5 into the Flotilla.
Regardless, thank you very much, once again!
