I could add some code to my UIs mod that would have it spit out the sub's position every x amount of time to a file. Then you could read that file.

The origin should be at the intersection of the ecuator with the prime meridian, if it works like in SH4. That positive and negative values are just the surface of the problem, since everything needs to be reprojected from SHs weird system to the one Google Maps uses. But I got that covered from SH4, where a real-time tracker didn't look possible.

Maybe the position could be uploaded along with a report generated from your journal tool, and when you click the sub on the map you would have an option to read it.

Do you think it would be interesting?
