Hi Folks,
I am new to Mac and to Mr Tides. I like the simplicity and clarity of the interface. However I do have a couple of questions about its use.
1, How do I get Mr Tides to display Tidal Stream Information? I cannot get Mr Tides to display Tidal Stream info' for the UK.
2, How can I get more "Map" information it would be useful to be able to zoom in on the local area rather than having the whole of the UK on screen?
3, Anchor Aid and calculations therein?
It seems to me that Anchor Aid could be a useful facility, however it does seem to lack some functionality. Is it possible to change some of the values used in the "Anchor Aid" facility?
In particular I would like to be able to change the Ratio of anchor rode (it is set to 3:1 for chain) I would also like to change the (or be informed of) the "clearance" under the keel at Low Water? I see this as being a variable dependent upon Size of vessel, nature of the sea bed, weather,
streams etc'.
It is possible that these features are already there it is just that I cannot find them.
Any and all help really Appreciated,
Simes
