I'm sorry, I didn't get an email from you about the UK. Hmm wonder where it went to? Oh well...
Anyhow, there are some stations for the UK that are based on data not from the UKHO. They are Avonmouth, Bournemouth, Cromer, Devonport, Dover, Felixstowe, Harwich, Heysham, Hinkley Point, Ilfracombe, Immingham, Liverpool, Lowestoft, Newhaven, Newlyn, Northshields, Portsmouth, Sheerness, St. Marys (Isles of Scilly), Weymouth, Whitby, and Workington.
In Scotland I have Aberdeen, Kinlochbervie, Leith, Lerwick, Millport, Moray Firth, Port Ellen (Islay), Portpatrick, Stornoway, Tobermory, Ullapool, and Wick.
In Wales I have Barmouth, Fishguard, Holyhead, Llandudno, Milford Haven, Mumbles, and Newport.
I have been approved by the UKHO's Copyright office to use their harmonics for more stations (a LOT more stations!), but I have to write a new version of AyeTides (called, for now, AyeTides UK) that will have certain restrictions (such as not viewing more than a year ahead, and only being available on the iTunes UK store) that are not present in AyeTides. I'm also going to have to rewrite the database engine in order to accept the interpreted subordinate stations that the UK uses, and that will take a bit of work. Until I get into the details I won't know how long it will take to do the modifications, then I'll have to create a new harmonics file with the new stations in it.
On the good side, I won't have to do much to modify AyeTides itself to make AyeTides UK, just drop the Geographical list, remove the other harmonics files, and build it. Ah I'm such an optimist
I'll post here and to the blog at www.ayetides.com as I get further along.
