Tides mode

Tides mode suppresses chart detail to enhance tide and / or current information and provides set and drift vectors for your vessel. Tide mode also displays an animation progress bar. Depending on the cartography in use, tide and / or current station symbols may be replaced with dynamic graphics. Dynamic graphics can be animated using the Animate tides option which enables playback of tide and / or current predictions for a 24 hour period.

Note

  • Set and drift vectors require a paddle wheel transducer.

  • Animations are only available on supported cartography. Refer to your cartography provider for more information.

  • Tides mode requires accurate date information, taken from your GNSS / GPS position data. Alternatively, you can input a specific date manually.
