Tide Information

represented at large zoom ranges by a box icon with
the letter "

." The icon stands for a Tidal Station

location. An example is displayed in the figure on the

becomes an animated gauge showing a rising or falling tidal height for
the selected station. At larger zoom ranges, you can select the boxed "
