All contact directions given by your crew (or seen on scope, sonar, radar) are bearings that are relative to your bow (0 degrees) and thus your course. Between 0 and 180 are on the starboard/right side, all between 180 and 360/0 on the port/left side. To plot them on the map relative to north you first need to add your course to the number. Or to change course to them right away you could turn the scope in the direction of that number and press 'heading to view' button =
