Navigation-Noob needs help!

[David198502]

hey fellas!
now i play il2 for about 7 months, and i think im pretty good when its about flying and handle the aircraft. i never focused much on navigation yet, the only thing i did to navigate was to focus on compass and remember for how long i followed a certain heading. if i wanted to make it back, i just followed the opposite heading for the same time and then looked around for the airfield.most of the time it worked well.
but now there is a big improvement with 4.10 when its about navigation and i really want to use these new tools. but i just dont understand how to use them.i have read the readme, but as im not a native speaker its hard for me to understand it completely.
so as i already experienced, many members here are really helpful and experts when its about this sim and aviation in common.
so i would be really grateful if somebody could give me a navigation-guide for dummies.thx in adavance
