Jeppesen tides and currents
The system can display Jeppesen tides and currents. With this information it is possible to
predict the time, level, direction and strenght of currents and tides. This is an important tool
when considering planning and navigation of a trip.
In large zoom ranges the tides and currents are displayed as a square icon including the
letter T (Tides) or C (Current). When you select one of the icons tidal or current information
for that location are displayed.
Dynamic current data can be viewed by zooming inside a 1-nautical mile zoom range. At
that range, the Current icon changes to an animated dynamic icon that shows the speed and
direction of the current. Dynamic icons are colored in red (6 knots or higher), yellow (2 to 6
knots) or green (2 knots or less), depending of the current in that location.
If there is no current (0 knots) this will be shown as a white, square icon.
