Please, please, please... Tidal Vectors in MacENC!!!!
I realise that this may be more of a point for GPSNavX than yourself, August, but to have direction of flow and strength at a specific time would be invaluable for passage planning.
I actually purchased Belfield's Tidal Plotter for Windows, just so that I can get tidal flows in the Solent where I sail (it's a fairly complex tidal zone) but I still use Mr Tides within MacENC for checking tides "on the move".
Here's a screenshot of the tidal vector functionality.

Don't get me wrong.. Mr Tides is a great application.. but this is the one area that's missing in Mac Marine Software.
