Will the Tide clock correctly reflect the tide as I live inland on the Northeast Cape Fear River, which is subject to tide changes.

It will under normal conditions..depending on how far up the river you live, you may have more wind influence that can affect the tides. This clock doesn't automatically adjust.

My clock has been very accurate since I bought it. I replaced one I had had for 10 years that also was accurate. I'm on the ICW at Morehead City so we see tidal changes as well.

I had bought the GPSMAP 78, NOT the SC. The regular 78 has sun and moon rise and set as well as best times for fishing, but if it has the tide info, I sure can't find it. I am fairly sure that it does not have tide info, and as I said in my review, the downloadable "manual" is a joke. as other people said, they hit find and scroll down to tides, but when you hit enter, all you get is a line that says navigating to the tide station, but no tide data is displayed. and the manual doesn't even address the issue at all. I am very disappointed.

Have you reloads changed any would be the most obvious questions. I try to chronograph on cloudy days or in the shade beside a side of a building. Something that is solid shade. I just don't trust sunny days. Unlike others I don't trust sunny days.

yes, but they are very tide, so you need to pull a little, but better tide then too loose

This might help? I'm curious too, and this is one website that had an easy to understand explanation:http://www.tideclocks.com/about/view/6

Yes. I was told that it can be a little off if there are a lot of GPS watches in the area, but I have found it to be pretty accurate.

I have found mine to be very accurate, although sometimes it will be off usually about a quarter mile for a 10 miles ruen. I think it has more to do with the movement or adjustment of the satelites rather than the watch, since I have noticed on the peaks website that sometimes the course is really off and has me starting out in Lake Erie. There is not really much you can do about it and all brands pretty much use the same gps. If I am running a course for time, I always measure it by my bike or car for better accuracy. I did do a 10 mile race last fall and it showed 10.07 which was very good. Trees and turns or switchbacks can through it off as well.

Yes, the time does display with the radio on, after it briefly shows the station's digital numerical location on the dial. By the way, the sound is very good (not tinny) and is loud enough to hear over the sound of running water.

YesJust click on the FIND button and you'll see a bunch of icons with Recent Finds highlighted. Scroll down to find TIDES and CURRENTS toward the bottom.I never use Tides, instead preferring Currents. When you are active with the GPS in coastal waters (or if you have saved a waypoint) there are strategically located Current locations marked with a light rose-colored Diamond with a G in the middle. Place the pointer over this icon and hit enter.

Sorry for delay - we are at sea. This does have sun/moon rise/set info but no tides.

I don't use the alarm but did have some trouble with the time staying set. This seems to have been resolved with the latest update.

If you are looking just to adjust for DST the is a switch on the bottom that handles that. If you are setting the time there are several buttons on the bott of the unit.

No. You have to manually change the time. Still a great watch though, if you are looking for an altimeter/pressure sensor.

There's probably a scientific explanation but Pacific tides aren't as uniform. I haven't seen any clock for the Pacific that doesn't have to be adjusted more often. You can't set them and forget them.

I am on the west coast but just for grins, I cursored over to a state that has Boston in it which I think is the one you want. any way I am able to get tidal depths for a little island called Hutchinson Island at under 1 nm scale on the coastal chart. So, the answer is, 'no you don't ;have to buy that map'.

just a couple light drops of Dawn will do. anymore than that and ur water will look cloudy.

Hi. From what I remember there is an Option that records the time you have walked. I have been dislpaced due to Storm Sandy and do not have the unit with me. There is also a clock.
