NauticPath chart showing Port Services icon selected by cursor. When

first highlighted, the Pop-Up name box appears.

Tidal Current Information
NauticPath charts contain Tidal Current information,
represented at large zoom ranges by a box icon with
the letter "

C

." These icons will appear when you are

zoomed in to a 6-mile range. The icon stands for a
Tidal Current Station 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 ve-
locity 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 animated arrow with a pop-up name box (the name box disappears
after a few seconds). Examples are displayed in the following figures.

To view Tidal Current information:
1. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor over a Tidal Current Station
icon. When it is selected, a pop-up name box appears.

2. Press

WPT

to display the Tidal Current Information screen.
