Moon phase for your Home City. You can specify a date and view tide and Moon data
for that date.

See “Moon Phase Indicator” (page E-48) for information about the Moon phase

If the tide data is not correct, check your Timekeeping Mode settings and correct
them if necessary.

If you feel that the information shown by the Tide Graph is different from actual tide
conditions, you need to adjust the high tide time. See “Adjusting the High Tide Time”
(page E-19) for more information.

another date to view data.

If the Moon data is not correct, check your Timekeeping Mode settings and correct
them if necessary.

If the Moon phase indicator shows a phase that is a mirror image of the actual moon
phase in your area, you can use the procedure under “Reversing the Displayed
