There's a quick solution, which I found.  One clipboard choose war status and scroll down to the field in question.  Click on the field and icon on the map turns white.  One advantage of flying a bomber is it gives you plenty of time to explore crap like that.

do you understand how the "dot command" works?

With the map open, hit the / key type .sf 56 and hit enter. In this case that will center the map over field 56

I do understand how to use dot commands in the radio buffer.  That does not mean that my knowledge of those commands can be in any way considered to be vast.

A pretty complete list is HERE along with a bunch of other helpful information about the game.

The ones I use most often:

To go to where a friendly player launched, .goto username
To center the map on a field, .sf number
To go to a field number .move number

Those 3 get me around in most situations.
