Rhialto Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 (edited) err.. I cannot edit the title, nor delete the thread. Oh well, Prediction was the word. 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. COuld it also be an error in the table? Edited February 3, 2006 by Rhialto Quote Link to comment
+Sputnik 57 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I don't believe that the Legend C comes loaded with tide prediction (or, for that matter, tide prediciton ), but you can add the data file to the Legend C. Instructions in this thread. Quote Link to comment
+CharlieP Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment
Neo_Geo Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 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.

+Alan2 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Mapsourse Metroguide also provides Tide Prediction charts and graphs on your PC. Quote Link to comment
Rhialto Posted February 4, 2006 Author Share Posted February 4, 2006 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? Quote Link to comment
Neo_Geo Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 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!

+Alan2 Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 (edited) 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. Edited February 4, 2006 by Alan2 Quote Link to comment
+Rubberhead Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 This is a split screen shot of tidal predictions on a GPSmap 60CS. Quote Link to comment
