Blacklight: I would be surprised if the Kriegsmarine, as it prepared for the coming strife, did not load up on reasonably accurate nautical charts of Great Britain, Scandinavia, USA, and the Baltic at least. Also remember, the German UBoots were active around the UK in the first war.
I should think that any digitally saved map of a decent size (maybe sector maps would be needed) could be marked-up simply to indicate depth contours, and no modding experience would be needed - just a test sub cruising along pinging as it went and the 'gamer' marking a hardcopy with decently (roughly) accurate data. Any first pass could be corrected by the community as time passed.
Brag: Yes, very shallow waters are bad, but moving into the water off Dunkirk or off some harbors in England or Norway, it would be helpful to know the depth and how close you want to risk it before a DD shows up on the horizon, no?
Sailor Steve/_mhara: Right, I forgot that. Not an option (popup screen) in SH3 I suppose, maybe one of the modding experts have an answer. If we get no reply here, we can take it to the SH3 Mod forum and see what we get.
