There maybe I don't know for sure. But the following is a picture of the random layer of the campaign in the first year of the war (august '39 to august '40) in the Atlantic. The grey circles are the potential areas where convoys or units can turn to the next waypoint. As you can see that covers pretty much every spot in the ocean. (imagine if the other years are overlaid) So lines on the map do not really help you to pinpoint the route of a convoy. They give a false sense of precision. Your sensor range is only a sand grain in the pool. Or needle in the haystack. GWX should have a chart with rough lines of where the convoys can be expected. It is more practical to be somewhere in the general area (at chokepoints) and pay attention to convoy report icons on the map. And learn how to intercept those in the least amount of time.
