Question about GWX Hydrophone map updates?

I have asked this question before, but I never got a real answer. In GWX, when your sonar/radio operators pick up a sound contact of a ship, do they indicate this sound contact in any way on your map view? In other words, do they give you "Map Updates" when they are following sound contacts?

In my game, they give me nothing on my map view. They simply verbally tell me that they have a sound contact, what bearing that contact is on, and a general idea about how far the sound contact is (Long Range, Medium Range, or Short Range). They do not give me any "Map Updates".

My "In Game" settings currently have the "God's Eye View" map feature turned off, but this has never effected sound contact map updates in the past. I don't know if this needs to be selected to get the sound contacts on my map view, but I hope that it does not.

Finally, I am sure that I do not get "Map Updates" due to the efficiency of the compartment. I have had a full green bar in my Sonar/Radio compartment, and still get no "Map Updates" to sound contacts.

Thanks for any answers.
