Thanks Irish I appreciate your help, especially as I remember we had exchanged some emails some months ago. What I gather from the reports in this thread is that the solution is deployeable as planned and can be released soon. Great!

Yes thats the next logical step. But please read the instructions I gave him about opening "Sh3Gen Tracking Room.TTKGP", because it seems he started a new viewer project from scratch instead of opening the one I provide.

Very good idea! I see no problem to add a scale, and probably also a nautical grid with meridians. I think this will be one of the things I will do next.

The problem here is that from the savegame I only know:
- quadrant where a ship was sunk
- quadrant where player sent report
There is not much more I can work with. That means, I could add sinkings somewhere in the correct quadrant, I could add all patrol report positions + text, also somewhere in the quadrant, and I could add all player made map markers at the precise position. That can be done, anything else would require some new approach.
