Possible to make own-sub's position disappear at higher zooms?

Like RFB did with map contacts?

Thinking about possibilities of adding a bit of uncertainty to your own sub's position. You would have a very good general idea of where you are but not exactly, especially at the higher zooms.

Inspiration is the SH5 Real Nav mod.

Pathetically replying to my own post!

It is possible. I took any *.shp file from the data/sea/(ship name) from RFB 2.0. Renamed it UnitSub UnitSubM and UnitSubL and pasted those three files into the following folder path: pseudo real nav/data/menu/gui/units/ (after creating those folders.) Viola - mini real nav mod.

To take a fix, I can just plot a course (using the buttons).

Not pathetic at all. It's nice when someone figures out a problem and then takes the time to explain it to the rest of us.
