Nobody said GPS (except for you). Location data does not mean GPS.
Ok, so tell me how you are going to get a location fix underwater, in the dark, with no landmarks to orient yourself, in constantly shifting currents?
Even the Navy's most advanced nuclear submarines have to surface to get their location. This thing was a carbon fiber tube with an Xbox controller and an idiot designer.
You use your starting point as a baseline and keep track of the movement of the craft.
Just because you set the sub to a set knot speed, doesn't mean it'll actually cover that distance in that time. There are ton of currents going in all different directions.
