well, i found it working today. then i went on a road becaus in addition to the car the wheels in my head were turning and i learned now... when you are on a road, sextants will not function.

I'm assuming that is because you are actually not in a specific location when you travel on a road. Not sure if it ever worked while in a moving land vehicle.

Why not trick the game into thinking you're at your last location, then?

Because the sextenat would be inaccurate, as opposed to when in a ship? I don't know.

We should have a message clarifying the situation then. I'll start a development thread.
