Each lat/long degree in game is 120 km long. The ClimateZones tga map is 1080 x 540 pixels in size, and it encompasses 360 deg of longitude x 180 deg of latitude. It ensues that each pixel is equal to 1/3 of degree, corresponding to a square of 40 x 40 km2. From here I can calculate the approximate position on map of each port. I have tested this method with the U-boat position log generator (it plots coordinates on the SH5 world map), and it gives fairly good results, but indeed the error is around the corner, as I can't be sure that devs placed our bases exactly in their expected positions.

Are port positions expressed as offsets in meters from the game origin?
