WELCOME ABOARD!
I might also suggest that you get SH3 Gen. It gives information in a realistic manner, and is also adjustable as to how much it gives (it can show you everything that's in the game at any given time, if you want life easy) and adjustable as to how accurate the information is. I like to have info that might not be all that good, so I keep mine set pretty low.
Oh, and don't worry about compatibility: it's an external tool that works with any mod, just like SH3 Commander. You do have SH3 Commander, don't you?
