2-That ruins realistic navigation because the plotted course makes me see where my sub is with an unrealistic gps precision.
Possible workarounds:
1- Plot a course then abandon the games's map and use another pc/laptop with another copy of SH3/4 etc and use that one's map.
2- Find the graphic file for the plotted course and make it transparent but this might affect other tools such as the ruler.
3- Same as option #1 but use Google Earth or any other Nautical Navigation app instead but errors will arise due to the games's map being a flat Earth and corrections must be made in order to have distances and ETA's etc correct. (SH3 GWX Manual explains this further).
4- Find the data (if it exists) in some sort of cfg file or ini file and reduce this drift to zero.
any help is appreciated...

Interesting. I have always wanted to try out the celestial navigation dead reckoning in SH 4 but man that has to take months longer than an actual patrol lol. Frequent saves and and a logging of positions outside of the sim in case of CTD etc I am sure.
I'll ask around, hopefully can get this worked out.
