Tide Information
NauticPath charts contain Tidal Information, repre-
sented at large zoom ranges by a box icon with the
letter "

T

." These icons will appear when you are

zoomed in to a 6-mile range. The icon stands for a
Tidal Station location. An example is displayed at right.

When you zoom in to a sufficiently small zoom range (0.8 nautical
mile), the icon becomes an animated gauge showing a rising or falling
tidal height for the selected station at the present time. At larger zoom
ranges, you can select the boxed "

T

" icon and it becomes an animated

gauge with a pop-up name box. The name box disappears after a few
seconds.

To view tide information:

1. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor over a tide station icon. When
it is selected, a pop-up name box appears.

2. Press
