Do you use tide info at home and/or on the boat? If so, how do you get it?
We need to know the tide - 10 foot range around home - for various activities around the water where we live.
Then on the water, we need to know it for obvious reasons.
Currently, I'm using Navionics for the info both at home and on the boat. You need an internet signal or be in cell range out on the boat, which isn't much of a problem in my sailing grounds.
Some sort of chart is what I like on the boat. With Navionics, I get a dynamic picture of the state of tide - rising or falling - for anchoring or passing a shoal area. All I need to do is tap the chart and the data comes up.
I can also get it on Blue Chart and I think the info is stored. My old ship board chart plotter stores 10 years of tide data, as well but I'm using the phone tide data the most these days. I just wish it stored several days of data whenever it's in wifi range(are there any apps that do that?)
What sources do you use?
