Could be a post regarding this one degree error in one of the pages of RFB. I know there were map images of the one degree inaccuracy included in the posts....I just couldn't find it.
No problem; it was in one of the original Release threads for the standalone plotter. I didn't have much luck with direct searches either, I just happened to stumble across the text during one of my scans. Just to confirm we're not all crazy:

Also something you will notice on the navigation screen is when the sub travels along its waypoint path the plotter will show 1 degree off center from the path of travel. This is not a problem with the plotter being incorrectly drawn. The plotter will come up 1 degree short to the right of center if you're heading turns right, or 1 degree short to the left of center if you're heading turns left. If anything this shows the plotter is dead on center. The problem is within the game code that for some reason comes up 1 degree short depending on which way you turn. We can't fix what the developers don't wish us to get our hands on!!
