Maybe the position could be uploaded along with a report generated from your journal tool, and when you click the sub on the map you would have an option to read it.

Do you think it would be interesting?
You can verify the origin by opening the mission editor and seeing if that really is 0,0.

I already have functions defined for converting the meters from game origin to lat and long coordinates (then it's a simple matter of rearranging the digits to Google Earth specs).

Not following you on the position could be uploaded along with a report thing
