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, the icon itself be-
comes an animated gauge showing a rising or falling tidal height

for the

selected station at the present time. At larger zoom ranges, you can se-
lect the boxed "

T

" icon and it becomes an animated gauge with a pop-up

name box. An example is displayed in the following figure.

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

WPT

to display the Tide

Information screen.
