which leads me to another question, on the next patrol will my nav map show the location of minefields. GWX's manual has quite a few pages showing you where they are but i was wondering if this was true in the game also.

The map doesn't, but there is a pull-down harbor chart in GWX that will show you the location of anti-sub defenses in Axis harbors.
When it comes to mines laid by the Allies, you're on your own. I can tell you that the area around Helgoland is mined very shortly after the start of the war. With British harbors and coastal areas it should go without saying that you need to proceed with caution.
I've also heard that the area between the Faroes and Britain were mined, but I've passed through there many times (mostly on the surface) without incident. I stay in the deepest part of the passage, the mines are (I assume) more likely to be found nearer the coastlines on either side.
