MY GPS76 has the ability to show tide levels at various places. I am a boater/fisherman/diver and use it to plan activities. It is also useful for planning walks on the beach.

Was taking a look at the Legend C and Cx comparison table (http://www.garmin.com/products/comparison.jsp) and noticed that the Cx have a YES at Tide prediction while the C does not. I don't know what is it.

It's a neat little feature. you can click on a tide station, and the unit will calculate and display a graph of high and low tides in relation to the time of day. You can select different dates in the future as well. I've only used it as a curiosity, but I keep it loaded on my 60C anyway - it only takes up a couple hundred kilobytes of map storage space.

Ha now you described it I understantd. My problem was a translation word, should have asked what is this in french. Alors il s'agit des marées? Quand elle est haute et basse?

Mapsourse Metroguide also provides Tide Prediction charts and graphs on your PC.

 

What version are you talking about? I have MetroGuide USA version 5 and I don't see any tide stations there. But having selected the Tide Points map product in MapSource, I see that it does work in MapSource for that. Cool!

Metroguide 3.0 shows the tide stations on the map. You right click on the icon, select Predict Tide and you get graphs like the one you posted.
