Understanding the TideTrack function
What is TideTrack?
The TideTrack function calculates and selects tide information
for any of over 3,000 NOS/NOAA tide stations. TideTrack
covers the entire U.S. coastline, including Alaska and Hawaii,
plus many Caribbean islands and western Canada. You can
display tides up to the year 2099. The data is from the official
tide-table predictions, and should be as accurate as the printed
tables. For more information about the printed tables, refer to
Tide Tables
published by the NOS/NOAA, Rockville, Maryland
20852.
With TideTrack, you can display tide-station information right
on the
CHART
screen. When you select a tide station that’s
either near your vessel or somewhere else on the
CHART
screen, a tide graph displays the tide height during any
24-hour period.
