Tides 3.0

Tucabo — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 19:42:03 +0000

The app is out on the app store, from now on a single app called Tides Planner. The app is free to start and, under Tools>App extensions, you add years and country specific hydrographic licences. Immediately you can add 2012 and 2013, plus licences for UK, France, Holland and Belgium. US, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Japan and other countries do not need licences.

The app includes improved tides predictions for European ports, based on our own new constituent analysis engine. More countries will be added in future updates.

Tides Planner 10 (2010/11) and Tides Planner 11 (2011/12) have been updated with all the new features. The hydrographic licence of Tides Planner 10 expires at the end of Dec 2010, when you should update to the new Tides Planner.

Tides for rig work

Tucabo — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 16:45:11 +0000

Rob from Rotterdam uses the tides app to plan work when moving marine equipment: “I am a towmaster ( Rigmover), this means a sort of pilot for drilling rigs, jackups. We use all kind of means to get information about the tide and current. I like Tides Planner because it is fast and very portable. Even when I walk on deck it is easy to check the current without a pc, totally offline.”

John in France is an enterprising Tides Planner user. He is disabled but likes to enjoy the beach and needs to know the times to gain access and leave.

“J’ai un fauteuil qui peut rouler sur le sable, donc je peux faire des ballades le long de la mer…
Cependant je ne peux remonter sur la terre ferme que à certains endroits, donc je dois être vigilant par rapport aux horaires des marées…”
