Since the waypoint tool is left intact, you can always chart your course and let the crew take it from there.

What I mean is that, while you can easily obtain a position fix that way, it provides your exact position, when you should only know your estimated position.

Yes, I understand what you're saying there. When I was still playing SHCE, I was doing plots on paper, where I had to estimate how far my sub went since the last point. It was a real joy when I had to make a course change; estimating the subs turning circle was something I found to be very tricky. It would mess up the next point for sure, and generally require at least a couple more points to get good estimates afterwards. I can't see myself ever going back to a paper and pencil method again. I found it to be very laborious.

I thought someone came up with a way to eliminate both the large sub marker and the boat icon, so you would not be able to see the sub even zoomed in. He had a different system he used.
