Tide stations not showing (and neither are the currents)
First, US East and West coasts are not showing in Settings-Tides-Basic Models.
Then, even with US local models selected and all Tidal Station checkboxes checked, the "Stations" button in Wx Data menu ribbon is grayed out.
And the tidal arrows are not showing.
Updated to 11.15.5
What am I doing wrong, please?

I deleted the old US West and East tide options. It is easier better to just use the XTide database.

Re: Tide stations not showing (and neither are the currents)
Hello,
I cannot get the 'TIDE' tile in the number box to show any data. What conditions are needed to have this box showing the level above astronomical hight at the nearest tidal station?
Thank you an regards,
Boj

Which tide stations? Any details?
The C-Map ones were deleted a long time ago as they aren't thread safe.

Re: Tide stations not showing (and neither are the currents)
Thanks for the response. Solent area. We have not been racing for over 2 years. Now this screenshot is a sim, but the right upper tile used to show 'Cowes x.xm'. Yes we are using C-map. From your post I assume this feature is disabled. Any suggestions/options on getting the nearest tide hight displayed?
Regards

Re: Tide stations not showing (and neither are the currents)
Is it just me? But I can get plots of the tides by right clicking on the tide station as indicated in the help file.
I have enabled the xtides, and have a .tcd file in the tides directory.
The little diamond appears where the tide station is, but when I right click it there are no tide plots.
Something else I need to do?

I can replicate that here. Will fix for the next update.
You can also get to them from the weather ribbon.

Re: Tide stations not showing (and neither are the currents)
Thanks Nick! the Wx data ribbon works for me.
And I don't know if this is a bug or a feature, but when I have the basic "free" C'Map chart enabled, I don't always see the tides on the weather tool tip even though I can see tide arrows (I am using the Seattle Model). The tool tip works as expected with Vector or Raster charts (Tide always showing on Tool Tips when using same map area and tide model).
