Adam F Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 On Thurs we were a bit stumped???? The tide predictor on my Plotter gave a different reading to the Poole tide book?? Anyone know why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Martin Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 Adam Has your plotter been set to bst? Does your tide book allow for bst? Your tide book will give tide times for either the quay or poole entrance which are slightly different where does your plotter calculate tidal times, to get the same reading they must both be predicting for the exact same location. The above may seem obvious but I cant think of any other reason why they should be different. Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam F Posted May 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 Youre probably right! However, I do have the plotter set to UST, and is in Auto mode for daylight saving, but still it gives me the time an hour delayed. Weird! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Martin Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 I have to manually change my plotter and back up gps to bst. Its easy to do through your menu Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 Adam, I had same problem and manually changed mine to BST. The tide times are then spot on. ( I was going to ask you the other day , why you were looking up the tide time in the book when it is on your GPS ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam F Posted May 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 Thanks Paul, I will do that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
