This is the second thread since last night on the subject of immersion map grids.

Twice now an alarm has went off wondering what the GWX4 team has in store for us useing the SH4 map.

I know I'll be reading those radio messages more closely.

GWX4 will be takeing us to another Level.

Thank you for your replies and for the welcoming

I'll take a look at what you ( all ) have said. I know its for the immersion but i like to untherstand what i'm being told anyway. It's more fun

Pardon my english ( typos etc ) it's been a while since i've used it

In SH4 there are latitude and longitude markings on the map. The U-boat Missions Add-On keeps these, but also adds the Kriegsmarine grids - right down to the 4-digit level.

In my own personal hand-written logs for SH3 I make daily radio reports with 4-digit grid references. I do this by using a small grid square sheet I printed out, and laying it against the screen grid. This gives me a close enough approximation that I can guess the precise sub-grid pretty closely.
