Again, not sure if its possible, but that is another item which didn't seem all that realistic... here's a contact report and magically it appears where its supposed to be in that grid...
It would probably require some way to really get at lat/long in game at least, but considering what you've already done with the GUI, I'm pretty sure you'd be capable of it. 
Just a thought,

I think you've not quite understood the way those reports work. There are two kinds: 1) reports from BDU (which appear in your radio messages, giving you a grid, direction, and speed) and 2) those markers that appear on your map, which I assume to be radio transmissions intercepted by your radioman, because whether or not he is qualified and his level of experience both affect the probability of those markers appearing.
These two often come at exactly the same time, giving the impression that they are the same thing, but they're not, which is why sometimes you will get a message from BDU but no marker (meaning you have to search for the convoy based on little more than a grid reference) whereas other times you get the marker but no radio report from DBU.
I don't think that bit needs changing.
