I had an idea about this. Feel free to shoot me down in flames.

Rather than posting screenshots I thought you could take angles from the 'corners' of the KM grid as a reference to triangulate the position of the sounding.

Take a look at this (aplogies for the crude sketch):

If you set a standard like the angles were always measured from the horizontal line to the u-boat then you'd get a pretty accurate fix for the sounding.

You could then state that all emails/sounding reports must have a format of something like

DEPTH/ANGLE A/ANGLE B/ANGLE C/ANGLE D
i.e.
56/30/32/47/86 (don't try to draw these, I made them up in my head)

This could then be interpreted by a program later, or just used as a standard for the fields.

Let me know if this sounds complete bollocks or not.

Ah, I appear to be replying to 6 month old topics. Oops. I wonder if this is still going?

Not referring to your post Grey Area, but yes, this has really become a problem as of late.

I really wish people would stop necro'ing old posts and just post a new thread if they have something to add to a months and months old issue.

Grey Area · 10-10-06, 09:40 AM

Quite. My apologies.

Better to keep it ongoing.

We'll know what it's all about instead of searching.

That's fine, but it's really better done by posting a brand new thread rather than pulling something up from months and months ago. Half the discussions will be invalid and most of the links won't work. Though Terrapin's post in this thread from today points to a website that works! The other links in the main post are for rapidshare and no longer exist. The only reason this particular thread was necro'd was because it was linked in another necro'd post.

This was a great idea to map the waters when it was posted eariler in the year and it still is a great idea. But because this is a new effort it should have been given a new post as Tikigod did here but instead of referencing this outdated post, all the new information should have been in the new post.

Edited due to my browser being bad.

Even Terrapin's post in this thread, supposedly from today, points to a website that doesn't appear to work. .

Odd, I must have something configured wrong in my Firefox, since it did work in IE 7.0 from work!
