Charts and 3D Chart Views
Animated Tide and Current Indicators
You can view animated tide station and current direction indicators on the Navigation chart or the Fishing chart. To do so, tide station and current direction information must be available in your preloaded map or BlueChart g2 Vision region. You must also select the Animated value for the Tides/Currents setting (page 10).
An indicator for a tide station appears on the chart as a vertical bar graph with an arrow. A red arrow pointing downward indicates a falling tide, and a blue arrow pointing upward indicates a rising tide. When you move the cursor over the tide station indicator, the height of the tide at the station appears above the station indicator.
Current direction indicators appear as arrows on the chart. The direction of each arrow indicates the direction of the current at a specific location on the chart. The color of the
current arrow indicates the range of speed of the current at that location. When you move the cursor over the current direction indicator, the specific speed of the current at the location appears above the direction indicator.
