Thanks THEBERBSTER,

But I was looking more for a working example, (maybe a screenshot), as I have not been succesfull to identify the polar star on the screen. We have those maps you attached when laying with TWoS.

Thanks guys,

I think I have found it. However the small dipper is missing one star (the one next to Polaris), but at least I can now determine my latitude at night.

I would upload a screenshot but I am to lazy to reduce it size to being able to attach it.

Real navigation is ultimate game changer. It really makes all of the sh5. I'm just loving it! :-)
