Anyone have any suggestions about removing the automatic positioning on the nav map ?

Getting the RAM upgrade should make a noticeable difference. With respect to the nav map do you mean removing your boat from the map entirely so that it would be done manually (like with an astrolabe or using the stars to find your position)?

Yep, that was what I was hoping. The idea is that you use Ctrl-Click to give you your current position (only when the sun is visible, to 'simulate' getting a fix using a sextant), at various times during the day, and work your navigation from this.
I've looked in the 'realism' options, and can't see an option, and haven't been able to igure out which patch would stop your position being shown in real time.

This should probably do the trick for you:

Thanks for the link, Tessa. Amazing stuff - even includes navigating by the stars!!!
Thanks again.

I've installed and tried this mod and, although it looks great, it still marks your current position on the nav map (unless I'm missing something). I've done some more searching but still can't find anything that looks like it removes this ?
