Help with OpenCPN please

[Ribtecer]

It must be me, but I cant seem to figure this out.

I have downloaded the software and got the charts for the above, but I cant see to get it working and be able to upload the tide information that I require.

How do any of you guys that use OpenCPN manage it get it all working in the first place.

Thank you in advance to anyone that can help.

I am sure once its set up it will be easy.

So which charts did you get for ocpn?

I use it but didn't know it did tides

mine shows tide height and in some places flow rates, but only in a panel, not as arrows on the chart, so you might be missing it. You have to toggle tides on/off in the tool bar too of course.

Hi Toby, if you can't get satisfaction here the OpenCPN people (see Lady's link) are quite helpful and there are FAQ's etc. Cheers, Andrew
