Currents Prediction

The worldwide database with tidal stream information is available with MAX C-CARDs.
When data/time is available, Tidal stream arrows are shown on the charts, indicating the
direction and strength of the Tide:
If no data/time is available from the GPS or the GPS Chart Plotter is not in Simulation
mode, the icon on the map is generic one. The color of the arrow denotes the strength of
the current as follows:
When the GPS Chart Plotter receives a valid position fix, the Tide icons are shown on the
charts on the basis of the current date and time: the screen displays and changes arrows

To activate this function follow the procedure:
1. Press [MENU]. Move the ShuttlePoint knob to highlight SETUP MENU and press [ENT].
2. Move the ShuttlePoint knob to highlight MAX FUNCTIONS and press [ENT] or move
