I always delete my plotted course when in action and plot it anew soon after. It's useless when hunting, and there is a nasty bug that almost killed me a few times long time ago (navigating forward manually works well even if you have your course plotted previously, but when you order "engines backwards" [or however this is called in English] the boat changes course to follow the plotted path, thus destroying your magnificent plan of anihilating enemy...).
I wouldn't call it "useless" far from it IMO, but that's beside the point which is that when I'm manually navigating I still don't delete the course. It acts as a positional marker and saves me re-plotting the course again after the attack. Might be worth a try for you.

This isn't ideal, I admit. I would prefer to have some kind of "proper" position marker, but doing that results in map markers being displayed for enemy subs, friendly subs, or both (depending how you do it).

One last trick for you. Go to navmap and CTRL+LeftClick on the map. The map will reposition so your sub is where you clicked. Might be useful to you. *shrug*
