I am assuming too that the campaigns include enemy hunter-killer groups that you run into. It would be horrible if your planned routes 'always' put a sub in danger by passing one of those every time.
To answer your question about battery use, I have tested on a type VII and found that running submerged at slow speed depleted battery by 50% in 14.5 hours. Recharging that took 22 hours on the surface.

Problem is - based on what parameters can the Navigator plot this course?
Let's say you start at Whilm and you going to Atlantic (on the west coast of Britain). Does Navigator plot the course base on shortest route? Safest? How do we place those parameters in?
I think in this case it is better to place waypoints yourself. You can't really interract with the Navigator; he can't really "understand" what current situation requires. He can't "read" the map - I would prefer not to come too close to the shore, on which an air base is located for example - to figure out the safest or faster route... etc..
So, putting waypoints imo is better.
