USING REAL NAVIGATION

I really love this implementation into SH5.

When I play, especially when traveling a long distance, I keep my map updated with a half hour mark.

I set my clock for a continuous 30 minute timer. I mark the map with the navigation pencil. I do this for the sake of several reasons:

A) in case of an air attack or extraordinary event, the mark tells me the time of the event, then I can record it in my logbook later.

B) in case of a ship/convoy sighting, I now have a relatively recent mark that I can use for painting a tactical picture.

C) helps near land at night when it is difficult to pinpoint where you are.

I believe the options allow you to change how often the navigator makes a mark, but I’d rather do it myself for sake of having something to do, and keep my eye on the map!

Here is my alarm clock mod I use, in case you want to set your alarm more often. The original is loud and annoying, this one is better!
