I just downloaded your great software and I wonder if you can add the Cap-Ferret and Arcachon stations to your database?
Both are located in the middle of the coastline of the Bay of Biscay which is almost a blank zone on the map.
Cap Ferret is the tip of the cape outside the the Arcachon Bay. Inside the Arcachon Bay -- "Bassin d'Arcachon" -- there is the city of Arcachon where the tide is delayed compared to Cap Ferret because of the smallness of the entry way for the waters (the infamous "passes du Bassin d'Arcachon" that killed many a sailor).
You can find the data here (multilingual website) :
Cap-Ferret

Arcachon
http://maree.frbateaux.net/136
Their data are taken from the official SHOM French government site:
http://www.shom.fr/ann_marees/cgi-bin/pr...=0&zone=11
The frbateaux.net people have developed a widget but not one as accurate and precise as your software (good for surfers and swimmers, less for sailors as it does not mention water heights, essential when you want to enter or exit the "passes")
Thanks in advance for what you can do in that respect,
