Animated Tide and Current Indicators

You can view indicators for animated tide station and current direction on the Navigation chart or the Fishing

chart. To do so, information for tide station and current direction must be available in your preloaded map or

BlueChart g2 Vision region. You must also select the Animated value for the

Tides/Currents setting (

page 8

).

An indicator for a tide station appears on the chart as a vertical bar graph with an arrow. A red

arrow pointing downward indicates a falling tide, and a blue arrow pointing upward indicates a

rising tide. When you move the cursor over the tide station indicator, the height of the tide at the

station appears above the station indicator.
Current direction indicators appear as arrows on the chart. The direction of each arrow indicates

the direction of the current at a specific location on the chart. The color of the current arrow

indicates the range of speed for the current at that location. When you move the cursor over the

current direction indicator, the specific current speed at the location appears above the direction indicator.
