Animated Tide and Current Indicators
You can view indicators for animated tide station and current direction on the Navigation chart or the Fishing
chart. To do so, information for tide station and current direction must be available in your preloaded map or
BlueChart g2 Vision region. You must also select the Animated value for the
Tides/Currents setting (
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 for the current at that location. When you move the cursor over the
current direction indicator, the specific current speed at the location appears above the direction indicator.
