I forgot to mention that the CIC/ F2 map, does not always jive with DC's 3D virtual world. For example: From the deck of your destroyer, you may be in the water but the CIC map shows your position on land. This happens occasionally near land.

If I recall correctly, DC's virtual world is based on the NOAA and USGS elevation databases. The virtual world is more accurate than the CIC map.. If you plot or place a unit at the real world long/lat coords (to 6 decimal places) that's where you will be in the DC virtual world.
