Tidal Current Information

NauticPath charts contain Tidal Current information, represented at large zoom ranges by a box icon with the letter "C." These icons will appear when you are zoomed in to a 6-mile range. The icon stands for a

Tidal Current Station location. An example is displayed on the right.

When you zoom in to a sufficiently small zoom range (0.8 nautical mile), the icon becomes an animated arrow showing tidal current ve- locity and direction for the selected tidal station at the present time.

At larger zoom ranges, you can select the boxed "C" icon and it becomes an animated arrow with a pop-up name box (the name box disappears after a few seconds). Examples are displayed in the following figures.

To view Tidal Current information:

1.Use the arrow keys to move the cursor over a Tidal Current Station icon. When it is selected, a pop-up name box appears.

2.Press WPT to display the Tidal Current Information screen.
