Any patrol grid whether 48 or 72 hours has to be done in one gaming session and no manual saves during the gaming time.
If you use the compass and draw out the perimeter from the centre of your patrol grid you will always know what time you entered and where you are.

Okay so here is a second question. When I am given a patrol area to go to I always bring up the map tools and place the grid over the correct one. I then use the ruler the "x" out the right grid, then I use the compass to draw the perimeter. Should I be drawing the perimeter from the center of the coordinates (e.g. AN5517), or from the U-boat's position when I receive the radio message about patrolling it for x amount of hours?

Also ty to everyone for the great responses! I love the subsim community.
