tion location. An example is displayed on the right.
When you zoom in to a sufficiently small zoom range (0.8 nautical
mile), the icon becomes an animated arrow showing tidal current veloc-
ity and direction for the selected tidal station at the present time. At
larger zoom ranges, you can select the boxed "C" icon and it becomes an
animated arrow with a pop-up name box (the name box disappears af-
ter a few seconds). Examples are displayed in the following figures.
To view Tidal Current information:

icon. When it is selected, a pop-up name box appears.
2. Press
