Accurate Charts & Objects

[Beardmoresam]

Does anyone know of any accurate charts, preferably with any conspicuous objects added into the physical world, for the purpose of visual fixing/Pilotage?

Thanks

Edit:

To amplify a bit, I'm looking to conduct costal nav/pilotage with the real nav mod and visual fixing seems to me to be essential.

Nice idea.

I am afraid nothing like that was ever released for SH5, but I am planning to add a few unique landmarks in game (especially lighthouses/leading lights) that one can as visual reference for coastal navigation

That's exactly the kind of thing, although I'm yet to find a way to show true bearings on the TBT to use it as a gyro repeater.

I'm quite happy with Astro Nav, but it won't give you your position to within a cable as you can do with a visual fix, or even a few yards as with a sextant. Is it possible to use the sextant horizontally to do horizontal sextant angles or find some objects with charted heights to use find visual ranges?

I do appreciate the helpful replies though

Thanks

tbh i don't how accurate are the object in SH5 but the celestial is 100% accurate and yup u can measure for example the light house angel and find his high and from other things .....

I'll certainly look at doing pilotage by sextant, but I'm certain you can't keep a 6 minute fixing routine by sun-run-sun observations. It's interesting how you can get 100% accuracy with the sextant in SH5, perhaps some error needs to be added?
