I've never noticed *this* before!

I've just recently upgraded my graphics card to a Radeon 4650 (and I'm prolly going to return it and get a better one) so I'm starting to notice a lot more than I've been able to before.

Has anyone else noticed that, in the command room, the map at the navigation station actually shows not only the map area where you're actually at, but also shows your plotted course?

Yes! It's a nifty little thing I noticed recently while cruising around the Zentrale. You've got to admire those German yards---a moving map display in 1939 is some really high-tech stuff!

::grins:: Actually, I just look at it as my navigator continually selecting and displaying out the correct area charts as we sail along.

Exactly. My navigator also very helpfully pencils in anything that B-Dienst chooses to send our way.

Yep, its not a live display though, you have to occasionally update it by moving from interior to exterior of the boat.
