Imray Tides App

[TiggerToo]

Is anyone using this?

I note that at present, when viewing tidal streams the "arrows" are colour coded:

Green
Red
Yellow
Grey

Does nyone have any idea what the colours actually mean?

 

[sailingmartin]

Yes. They represent different tidal stream speeds. Roughly Grey = under 1 kt, Green 1-2 knots, Yellow 2-3 knots, Red over 3 knots.

Thanks, I thought as much... where did you get the information?

 

[sailingmartin]

Not sure. Just think I worked it out from looking at the numbers associated with each arrow.

PS I think the app is one of my favourites. Use it all the time for both tidal heights and streams - has the UK tidal stream atlases in real time, very useful,

The whole spiel there - except the colour codes!

yes, I went through that... and that is why I came here....I think Martin is right, and I will stick to that unless I hear any better

I’m using it and if you hover the crosshairs over the coloured arrow the tidal stream speed is displayed in the top left of the screen. Particularly useful coming round Portland today. It is easier to use than a tidal atlas as it gives better definition info on tidal streams.
I can’t get it to give me a favourable tide all the way home though
I also have Absolute Tides which I don’t get on with.

Imray’s Tidal App is also one of my favourites but I do wish they would fix the glitch in the figures at the bottom of the sliding scale which become scrambled. Notwithstanding that, the graphics/clarity/ease of use and functionality are excellent. I particularly like the Tidal Atlas add-ons which are copies of the Admiralty ones and instructively animated as you go from hour to hour.

If it were me, I would compare the results from a particular area of sea on the app with the information to be found on the corresponding paper chart or tidal atlas page.

Agreed. I find it very useful.
