Tidal Stations not showing

Running OpenCPN 4.8.6 Build 1018-08-02 on Windows 7
HARMONIC.IDX shows as an active Tides & Currents dataset

Cursor at Alabama Point, 30 16.6422 N 087 33.2313 W


The GPS is not plugged into the PC, so OpenCPN doesn't know the current boat location.


There is supposed to be a Tidal Station near this cursor location. I'm not seeing it nor any Tidal Station anywhere.

What am I doing wrong?


This is my first attempt at use of Tide & Currents and I have read file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/OpenCPN/doc/toolbar_buttons/tides_and_currents.html

Have you tried zooming in?

Am I zoomed in?




Yes, one click less than OVERZOOM.

The actual version of OCPN is 5.x --- OpenCPN version 4.8.6. Released August 2, 2018
Chasing bugs or issues with settings is always easier when being on the up-to-date version.

BoatHunting,

I don't see a Tide Station at Perdido Pass, between (or near) Alabama Point and Florida Point.
Here is a screenshot:

Zooming out, We can see Tide Stations to the west and to the east.

Thanks Paul.


Your screen shots show what I should be seeing and am not seeing.


I may not be using the latest greatest OpenCPN. I'm going to attempt an update and try again.

I'm going to attempt an update. Thanks for the info.

I installed version 5 and voila, I've got tide stations.


Thank you everyone for the help.
