Muerevich, you can use the pilot to get you out of the harbour using automation. You can also use the automation function to get your navigator to place your position on the map automatically. You set the compass to the direction you need to sail and get the navigator to fix your position as often as you want by clicking on the nav officer icon.
A guy called Stoiamn has made some YouTube videos to explain real navigation in greater detail and shows what map tools to use etc.
Don't give up, it gets easier..

Be aware: if you click on the compass to change course while you are using time compression, the boat does not always change course. I only change course with time compression on 1.
