As an open-water swimmer, I'm finding that the Garmin 2 is a fantastic device for tracking. The weather widget is even somewhat useful for planning swims.
But one of the most essential conditions to know about before going for a swim in the ocean or a bay are tide and current conditions.
It would be fantastic if Garmin offered a tides & currents widget. For the user's chosen location, a widget like this could display the current tide level, next high/low tide, and optimally even currents.
This data is possible to compute, or to look up from any number of public websites and data feeds.
Such a widget would increase the utility of the Swim 2 and also help improve the safety of swimmers using it.
