Chalkboard and latitude and longitude cooridinates

The chalkboard in SH5 shows your coordinates. When you get the message to investigate contact at specified coordinates, can you use that chalkboard to show you the approximate place of this contact on the map?

If so how?

To my knowledge, no. The coordinates are typically found by using the "map tools" feature in your list of SH5 tools found on the right hand upper menu, or by pressing "E" on your keyboard. There are several informative tutorials available on how to locate a bearing using the Lat/Long minutes system using your coordinate tool available here and on YouTube. Once you have the coordinate located, use your marker tool and press "E" again (to move the tool out of the way) to place the mark on your map. Are you using Real Navigation?

even without real navigation you have to use the map tools to create the intercept route
