tion location. An example is displayed on the right.
When you zoom in to a sufficiently small zoom range (0.8 nautical

mile), the icon becomes an animated arrow showing tidal current veloc-
ity and direction for the selected tidal station at the present time. At

larger zoom ranges, you can select the boxed "C" icon and it becomes an
