Are you using the map in UZO/periscope view to see were the shipping lanes are?

I just did my first patrol (kept my old career from vanilla and updated to GW so Im in June 1942) to AM78 (just West of S Ireland)...did get 1 RA of a convoy in the shallow waters just S of Ireland. Didnt persue as they were 2 grids away, and didnt feel like dodging DDs in 50m of water.
Since then I have encountered 1 task force (2 Black Swan Frigates and a Hunt I DD). Sunk the two Black Swans as I was bored with not encountering anything.
Question:
1) What is this UZO/periscope view map you speak of??
2) How do you guys hunt down the enemy???? Without my Vanilla Radio contact reports I have no idea how to find them!!
Thanks...and I do love all the added special effects/sounds with GW 1.1!!
