So I'm on my first patrol of a new career. 1939 out of Kiel. I'm headed all the way to AN53 or something, so its taking me 4 days or so at 1/3 speed.

Anyway, I'm halfway there and have been getting tons of radio message (GWX really rocks!). France and Britain are now at war, etc. However, the latest message I received makes no sense to me. Here it is:

From Open Frequency

SSS... SSS... SSS... 56.44N, 14.05W

Ummm...should that be SOS? And regardless, what do I do? How do I find those coordinates? I have NO idea how latitude and longitude work and I can't seem to find any such coordinates on any of the maps in the game. Anyone? Do I just ignore whatever it is?
