Grid references on map help

Please can some one tell me, sometimes you get updates on your radio messages as to grid references of certain activity, how do you find the grid refrences on your nav map to see where these events are occurring please. I can find any numbers or letter pointing to grid references Thanks

Are you referring to actual Grid Number or a Lonitude and Latitude reference?

The ones with just long and lat are just historical messages for eye candy
Some of the ones with grid references are historical uboat messages too

There are a lot of messages however which are real such as historical missions\new ports becoming available and unavailable

You can always use this

To find the grid if you want anyway

Okay aole1. Here is the URL I can go to while in the game. Simple press Alt-Tab and then go to this URL and put in the numbers.

http://www.ubootwaffe.net/quadrant.cgi

Then press convert and it will give you the grid number.
