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 veloc-
ity 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.
