Fig. 2.7b - Tide Graph page
This screen shows that day's Tide Height graph for the area where the Tidal
symbol was located. Using [ZOOM IN] and [ZOOM OUT] it is possible to display
future or past tides. If you wish to quickly display the tide for a specific date,
press [ENTER] and enter the required date using the cursor key followed by
[ENTER] once the date is set. Using [MENU] it is possible to change time selecting
between Standard and Daylight saving. To simplify reading the graph, the chart
plotter displays a moveable Vertical and Horizontal slider which can be moved
using the cursor key. Using the up/down cursor key, move the horizontal slider to
correspond with the draft of your boat. Using the Vertical slider you can then read
the times at which the graph dips below the horizontal line i.e. the times when
you will be in danger of grounding.
NOTE
Tide graph is an approximation of the tide and they should be used in
conjunction with traditional tide tables and navigational methods. The Tide
height value represents the variation relative to the "Mean Lower Water"
value.
