I have BC loaded for my location with tide tables. At first I thought they could not be displayed on an HCx then I discovered the marine points. With bluechart enabled there are extra things under marine points but no tide tables. I've seen posts that suggest that tide tables can be displayed but I can't see where.

Main Menu-Find-Marine-Tide Station

 

If you aren't getting "Tide Station" under "Marine" then maybe your charts don't have any. What BC area do you have??

I'm using BC pacific and I've sent the tide table with the maps, they are on a separate drop down menu in mapsource. But there is not Menu>Find>Marine there is only Menu>Find>Marine Points.

 

Under marine points there is navaids and anchorage but no tide tables.

Yes, it's labeled "Marine Points". From the pull down in MapSource I see the Tide Points and then select which regions to send along with the maps. And then they are in the GPS under Main Menu-Find-Marine Points-Tide Stations.

Well in that case I have to assume that I did not send the tide table when I thought I did, I will resend the infomation and see if it shows up. But thanks for confirming that it is supposed to be there.

I was thinking that, I had to select the map regions from the Tide Points map (there are three for the US). Good luck.

Yep, I can confirm that I've also located the tide screen. I've had a few cards lying around with different bits of maps on them, and I did indeed not have the tide charts in the particular one I was using. Now I know what BlueChart is listed twice in the map menu, once for the tide and once for bluechart.
