Obviously cloudy weather would make this feature seem a little unrealistic. Regardless this would force the skipper to DR his way around the ocean without having to do all the "extra stuff" required to get an astro fix.

I'm the Captain. I don't need to use a sextant. But I do make decisions based on the best position information available.
I included a new command in Automation that has the navigator plot your current position using celestial navigation. If he's unable to do it celestially (sextant) he'll do it via dead-reckoning. If you make an Automation script for this you can do what you're wanting
