A workaround for 'real navigation' that we ended up using was to still take 'sightings' if the weather was clear enough, but to take the sightings at the appropriate time of day by looking at the Nav map and marking the position of your boat on the Nav map.

If it was overcast, foggy, etc, then no 'sighting'... and rely on the gyroscope for position until the weather cleared up enough. Then when the weather cleared up enough at the appropriate time of day for a sighting, look at the Nav map and put a mark at your position.

Another reason why we had to do it this way was because some of the SH1 maps/charts were off, displaying incorrect Lat & Long by many degrees.

Sometimes you just have to resign yourself to SH4's limitations and change procedure. SH4 displays the sky on a cylinder, and SH4 is not a planetarium.

Happy Hunting!
