The center of the screen shows a graphic representation of the
tide height for the entire day. Maximum and minimum
heights are shown as dashed horizontal lines labeled with the
height in feet. Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) is shown as a
solid line near the bottom of the picture. A solid vertical line
and arrow is positioned to show the tide level at the current
time.
Just below the tide graph is the time scale, showing the local
time (LCL) for each point, and (if the station is in a different
time zone) the time at the tide station (TID).
At the bottom of the screen, the times of the day's high and
low tides are shown for that location, along with the tide
height at the present time.
You can choose from any of the nine tide stations closest to
your present position.
1. On the TIDE TRACK screen, press the CONFIGURE menu
key.
2. Press the CHOOSE CLOSEST TIDE STATION menu key.
The 957 searches for the nine stations closest to your
present position, and displays this list with the closest sta-
tion at the top.
