Tide/Moon Data

In the Tide/Moon Data Mode, you can see the current tide and the current date’s Moon phase for your Home City. You can specify a date and view tide and Moon data for that date.

• See “Moon Phase Indicator” for information about the Moon phase indicator and “Tide Graph” for information about the tide graph.

Tide Data

The Tide Graph that appears first when you enter the Tide/Moon Data Mode shows the data at 6:00 a.m. for your currently selected Home City on the current date, according to the Timekeeping Mode. From there you can specify another date or time.

• If the tide data is not correct, check your Timekeeping Mode settings and correct them if necessary.

• If you feel that the information shown by the Tide Graph is different from actual tide conditions, you need to adjust the high tide time. See “Adjusting the High Tide Time” for more information.

Moon Data

The Moon phase and Moon age information that appears first when you enter the Tide/Moon Data Mode shows the data at noon for your currently selected Home City on the current date, according to the Timekeeping Mode. After that you can specify another date to view data.

• If the Moon data is not correct, check your Timekeeping Mode settings and correct them if necessary.

• If the Moon phase indicator shows a phase that is a mirror image of the actual moon phase in your area, you can use the procedure under “Reversing the Displayed Moon Phase” to change it.

Tide/Moon Data Screens

In the Tide/Moon Data Mode, press A to toggle between the tide data screen and the Moon data screen.
