This really sounds cool - I'm looking forward to trying this out. Only two minor problems:

1. I never have really gotten the hang of doing transparent things - it took me the longest time to get my personal sub emblem to work right. So, any chance someone can mke a transparent sub file available for download to use with this idea?

2. This points out yet another time where it would be practically essential to be able to make some notes on the nav map (so you could note when you were at the position you're marking on the map when you take your "sextant" reading) - I guess you'll just have to keep track of it on a separate scratch pad, but it sure would be nice to be able to note it right on the map - anybody succeed in modding this capability into the game yet?
