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 at right.
When you zoom in to a sufficiently small zoom range (1/2 nautical
mile), the icon itself becomes an animated gauge showing a rising or
falling tidal height
for the selected station at the present time. At larger
zoom ranges, you can select the boxed " T " icon and it becomes an ani-
mated gauge with a pop-up name box. Examples are displayed in the
following figures.
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

to display the
Tide Information screen.
