There are a couple of functions I'm thinking of adding to Mr. Tides in the 3.1 release (which I've not even started on, so don't get all excited). There have been many requests for a way to add stations, and I can see how to do this for subordinate stations (though it will require some changes to the XTIDE database engine). I can't really see how to add reference stations, the harmonic constants are too many to just guess at, and the only ones who have enough data to create them usually are very reluctant to give them away for free (read: England).
The other idea is Collections of stations that all open together. So if you're planning a trip, you can beforehand make a collection and see them all at once as you sail along.
Maybe I'll add closer integration with MacENC and GPSNavX, pulling GPS data from them to display on the map. I'm not sure on this one, it just came to me.
As more ideas come to me (or you, the reader, make suggestions [hint hint]) I'll update this post with my progress.
