U.S. Tides and Currents: A great feature for
planning your next cruise. Each tide station is labeled with
the present tidal height and includes an arrow that indicates
whether the tide is ebbing or flooding. Right click on an icon
to read the station name, view its tide graph, or get additional
data about the station. The Tide Graph shows the time and estimated
water height of predicated high and low tides; the Current Graph
shows fluctuations in the current’s speed and direction
hour-to-hour.
Navigational Software: The PC Navigational
Software lets users easily create routes by clicking the mouse
for real-time navigation or trip planning. Each click puts a
waypoint on a chart. Click again and you’re creating a
route. Chart segments and route plans can be printed on standard
printers. And if you have a computer onboard, connect a GPS
to it and you will see your vessel’s location on the detailed
charts for real-time tracking and positioning.
Complete U.S. Coverage: The DVD covers the
entire U.S. and is arranged in 23 “Chart Kit Regions”
which makes it easy to find specific charts for all your favorite
boating and fishing areas.
