The AANN map reference was actually AANNNN. The KM grid system went down two more levels. There are some posts around (and information at other sites) which will let you trace down to that level. Here's one: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=124408.

The six-character grid reference gives you a lot less ocean to search.

Here's a draggable overlay that lets you see the six-character grid on the SH3 nav chart: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=4196
