Tide Information

Navionics charts contain Tidal Information, represented at large zoom ranges by a box icon with the letter "T." The icon stands for a Tidal Station location. An example is displayed in the figure on the right.

When you zoom in to a sufficiently small zoom range, the icon itself becomes an animated gauge showing a rising or falling tidal height for the selected station.

At larger zoom ranges, you can select the boxed "T" icon and it becomes an animated gauge with a pop-up name box. An example is displayed in the following figure.

To view tide information:

1.Select a Tide Station icon: use the arrow keys to move the cursor over an icon. When it is selected, a pop-up name box appears.

2.After selecting the Tide Station icon, press WPT to display the Tide Information screen.
