Tide data comes from internet data base (World Weather Online).

Hi,

Ok the datas comes from internet but the watch must could save the datas to be use during surfing session. It's interesting to keep the tide level during the session. My Rip Curl GPS 2 did this fonction...

The watch is able to save datas. Why the tides datas don't during no synchronisation with internet ?? Idem for the weather datas ??

If a Garmin developer read me, please consider this surf app improvement.

Thx

Hi,

Yeah its just weird that i have to connect to my phone to get my tide data back.

The watch connects to all these satellites etc etc & the minute you go surfing & get out the surf it cant give you tide data...

Come on .....???

I know with Rip Curl its always there.
