3-6 Raychart 320 Chartplotter
Tide Data
The symbol indicates that Tide height data is available for that
position on the chart. When you select the Tide height option, a graph of
predictions for maximum and minimum tide heights is displayed. Data
for sunrise and sunset are indicated by vertical bars as shown in
Figure 3-4.
Note: The predictions available are sufficiently accurate under moder-
ate weather conditions, for the coastal areas served by the reference sta-
tion, to be used for navigation planning. However, certain weather fronts
and storms can alter tidal patterns and influence predicted times and
heights.
