1. I dont know either.

2. Open the compass, select a tool and left click on the map and draw a line.

3. Waypoints are how you navigate the boat. Go to nav map and on one of the nav buttons is the waypoint tool. Hover you cursor over the icons and it will tell you what it does. With the waypoint button clicked just draw a line from your boat to a point on the map and left click if you want to set more waypoints or right click to set it as last waypoint.

You have to be surfaced to send a contact. If it warrants a reply it will take up to 24 hrs. to get. I hardly bother with the radio though.

3) Ok, I understand how to use the toolbar button on the bottom to set waypoints for my sub. But isn't one of the 'tools' on the 'desktop' also let you edit waypoints? Or is it just that Toolbar button?

Yes it's just the toolbar button. To edit waypoints already in place, click the Waypoints button on your toolbar, hover over any waypoint, the waypoint text will now turn red, and you simply click and drag the waypoint around. Be careful when deleting waypoints tho, since no matter which waypoint you have highlighted, the waypoints will start deleting from last to first, so you may end up setting all waypoints again. Just a tip.

EDIT:Bah! Gay forum icon time for me!
