Tides mode

In Tides mode the Tides animation control is displayed onscreen and the Tide station and Current station symbols in the Chart app are replaced with dynamic graphics which identify Tide and Current conditions. You can use the animation controls to play Tide and Current predictions for a 24 hour period. The own vessel Tide vector is also enabled in Tides mode.

Note

  • The Tides mode is only available if you have cartography that provides the Tides and Current data. Refer to your cartography provider for more information.

  • The Tides mode requires accurate date information, usually taken from the GNSS (GPS) position data available to your MFD. Alternatively, you can input a specific date manually.
