Tides & Currents is a powerful tool that instantly predicts both tides and tidal currents for thousands of
locations in North America and other parts of the world. Jeppesen Marine has long been the leader in marine
software and Tides & Currents combines all the power of electronic charting and predicting tides and currents
with point and click simplicity.
Passport Deluxe charts are available for the entire U.S. and selected regions in North America. Using
Passport Deluxe or the included planning charts, you can view tide and current predictions on top of
your electronic charts or in an easy-to-read graphical format.
"There's something special about this Nobeltec Tides & Currents 3.5 ... Besides some sleek improvements to the interface, the program ... is corrected for the new Daylight Saving Time (DST) scheme coming to the U.S. in 2007. Yes, in case you hadn’t heard, we are adding a month of DST, now starting it on the second Sunday in March and extending it to the first Sunday in November (with a few exceptions). That will most definitely mess up any uncorrected software or printed tide tables you use, if they are supposedly adjusted for DST. (NOAA used to print all tables in Standard Time because, according to a functionary I once spoke to, they didn’t know how to handle predictions that fell between 1am and 2am on the last "fall back" day of DST, when that "hour" happens twice)."
