A watch face that allows you to view the tides informations for a given location.
Considering the time spent on its development and maintenance, this application is currently priced at 12USD.
For more detailed explanations, please see the images below.
Despite all the care taken with this application, and depending on the technical changes made to the development SDK by Garmin, as well as possible malfunctions linked to the firmware of each model (bugs introduced by Garmin, installation of beta versions on your watch, etc.), the application may not behave as expected. Consequently, rather than publishing bad comments on the site, please contact me directly by e-mail to inform me of the problem, and I'll do what's necessary to rectify it as soon as possible.
For further details and information regarding the configuration and use of this application, you can consult and/or download the user manual in interactive PDF format, by clicking on the button at the top of the page.
Thank you in advance.
Descriptives images
At the very first start / launch of the watch face, you get the following display, instead of the tide information, a 8-digit identification number: xxxx - xxxx.
It is this identifying number that you will need to communicate to me by email, so that I can calculate your personal activation code, once you have paid for it via one of the 2 PayPal buttons located at the top of this page.
Once your activation code has been received, you will need to enter it, either via the integrated menu on the dial ("Tools -> Activation Code" menu), or via Garmin Connect. The code, as well as the identifier, are permanently stored on the watch.
Displayed when no data is available in the tide data storage table.
It happens:
- at the very first start of the application, when no request has yet been executed
- when a query has already been executed, but the array is empty; you must then restart a new query
Access to the integrated menu of the watch face
