Hey guys, I've been a long time player of 688i and I'm thinking of getting this game, but my question is I've always had problems naviagteing, it could never get through those missions where you had to be at an exact location, id always be off a few points.

I was wondering if it was easier done in this game, like maybe in the navigation screen you can actually plot points etc.:hmm:

yeah you can get exact points on here

I've never played a mission in Dangerous Waters where you need to get to an EXACT location. I've always seen location goals have an area circle where you have to go into.

You get that too but then areas are very small !

one of my favorite buttons is the "c" button that allows you to change your course in a very straightforward way(actually it is impossible to change your course in a straight forward way because then you would not have changed your course-but you get the point).
One good use of the waypoint is to be able to put the game on auto pilot and run off and get a cup of coffee or whatever. You have to be very careful when doing this or you might find that "the mission cannot be completed". If timed well it can save waiting.
