Modsters- How many fathoms of smelly stuff am I in?

Ahoy Skippers,

As I am currently sailing from the Norwegian Fjords, some of my patrols are based in Icelandic waters and I had not realised last night, as with two of those damned yankee destroyers hunting me, I was unable to ask the navigator to check the depth under the keel, but kept getting minor damage; just how shallow the water is there.

I have felt before that one thing that is lacking in the SH series, are good charts that like in the real world, beside showing the land and indicate the ocean depth by colour changes, do actually give some numerical indication of depths.

Is there a way, or maybe there is already a way that somebody could share, that one of those experts in building Mods, could give us, that like in some other packages that I have used, when you roll the mouse over the chart, there is a visual numerical indication, as to the depth of the water? I know that depth decreases as you reach land, or some underwater mountain, but it is not always desirable to broadcast my position to every warship in 10 miles of my boat.

can anybody help?

John
