Soundman Map Updates?

In GWX, do I have to turn on "God's Eye Map View" in the difficulty settings in order to see my Soundman update the map with small hash-marks to sound contacts? I went on several patrols with the "God's Eye Map View" unselected, and my soundman would only verbally tell me about sound contacts that he had. He would not put any type of mark to that sound contact on my map view.

This last patrol, I decided to select "God's Eye Map View" to see what happens. Oddly enough, when I selected this feature, it did not make my realism percentage fall to a lower percentage at all. It just stayed the same. I also noticed that my soundman will now draw that old little black solid line to all sound contacts. I guess this is better than nothing, but I sure do wish I didn't have to have all that other stuff on my map. It really seems like I am cheating with all those other map features.

What am I missing here with this in GWX? (Both soundman are radio qualified, so I am sure they are not updating my map in the first patrols because of their qualifications)
