In a way my method does leave options. Since the waypoint tool is left intact, you can always chart your course and let the crew take it from there.

Even though the position "dot" marker is removed the zoomed in sub icon is always there for making an attack.

What I mean is that, while you can easily obtain a position fix that way, it provides your exact position, when you should only know your estimated position.

Yes, I understand what you're saying there. When I was still playing SHCE, I was doing plots on paper, where I had to estimate how far my sub went since the last point. It was a real joy when I had to make a course change; estimating the subs turning circle was something I found to be very tricky. It would mess up the next point for sure, and generally require at least a couple more points to get good estimates afterwards. I can't see myself ever going back to a paper and pencil method again. I found it to be very laborious.

I thought someone came up with a way to eliminate both the large sub marker and the boat icon, so you would not be able to see the sub even zoomed in. He had a different system he used.
