How Do I Plot My Position On The Map When Using Real Navigation?
I am using the TWoS "Real Navigation" functionality and I am not letting the automatic navigator give me my position. I am using the sextant and chronometer to find my lat/lon, but I can't figure out how to make an accurate plot mark on the SH5 map. How do I do this?
PS - The map is really difficult for my old blurry eyes to see. Is there another one available or am I limited to Google Earth, etc.? |

I followed the videos and made the change in OFEV UI, but I did not see any change. I know the aged nature of the map is appropriate to the era, but is there a map replacement that looks brighter and cleaner? |

Thank you for the videos and the heads-up on the *.dds files. I was able to make other changes to my liking too. Another mod I would be interested in would be more grid lines on the map and the corresponding lat/lon numbers on the four sides. Is this available? |

Why don’t you have the Lat/Lon on your map? Give us a screen shot!

If you’re just looking for finer positions on the map, just use your nautical chart. Press E on your keyboard, and look for nautical chart.

There are no mods that give minutes. You use the nautical chart to get minutes. My video shows the nautical chart I’m talking about.

to identify any pattern. I don't think it would make any difference, but I am using the cursor grid without any lines which is different than the one in the video. |

Ah! Brings back memories! Seriously, I knew this navigation stuff already, but I will never ignore an offer for a refresher course. I am grateful to have your step-by-step guide for SH. Thank you. |
