It isn't actually new, but was disabled several years ago and I forgot about it.

What it does is find the nearest Expedition, Xtide, Navionics or CMap tide station and queries the height at that time. Updated every 30s.

It can then be shown in a number box.

Thanks - is that the Tide Station number box?  I have had this in my display for some time, but don`t recall it updating every 30s, so would be nice.  
Would also be good to find the nearest tide station in the right click alt menu or some other method (I haven`t found a way to do this).  The xtide stations are just a dot so get hidden on the charts.  I enabled dynamic icons for Navionics, so it displays the tide icon clearly now as well as height, rising or falling arrow,, but I have to enable every time open /restart Exp, but a  way to quickly jump/link to nearest station would be good.  Only way I found to do is to go WX data -> tide stations, expand list, manually search for station.

The Navionics is off when you start as it has a noticeable effect on performance.

Tide trend in number box is great - Thanks!
Down the track, if there was a way to have a link to nearest tide station - either in the right click on chart menu, wxdata or meteogram maybe, that opened the tide station predictions to the nearest tide station to you (as per number box), that would be perfect!

All good ideas. Howver, I am trying to start on a very large project for Expedition that I really need to get implemented before the end of the year.
