Fig. 3.db - Tide Graph page
This screen shows that day's Tide Height graph for the area where the Tidal
symbol was located. Using
[ZOOM IN]
and
[ZOOM OUT]
it is possible to display
future or past tides. If you wish to quickly display the tide for a specific date,
press
[ENTER]
and enter the required date using the cursor key followed by
[ENTER]
once the date is set. To simplify reading the graph, the chart plotter
displays a moveable Vertical and Horizontal slider which can be moved using the
cursor key. Using the up/down cursor key, move the horizontal slider to correspond
with the draft of your boat. Using the Vertical slider you can then read the times
at which the graph dips below the horizontal line i.e. the times when you will be in
danger of grounding.
NOTE
Tide graph is an approximation of the tide and they should be used in conjunction
with traditional tide tables and navigational methods. The Tide height value
represents the variation relative to the "Mean Lower Water" value.
