    Dear everybody,
    I have found the 'stream current arrow" on Bluechart G2 vision (VAE009R-Sin/Mal/Indonesia) but it only show at the current station. In around the current station, I can not see any other arrow the show the stream current. I dont know whether can we show many stream current around "current station" on this image below.

    Thee are all the info about "Animated Tide and Current Indicators" on Bluecharts G2 Vision Garmin offers in manuals and in its Support (Frequently Asked Questions)

    Devices that are pre-loaded with coastal detail can display animated tide information without adding any mapping information. Devices without pre-loaded coastal mapping can display this information with an added BlueChart g2 or g2 Vision card.
    This feature is available on the following series models:

    GPSMAP 400
    GPSMAP 500
    GPSMAP 600
    GPSMAP 700
    GPSMAP 800

    Start from the Home screen
    Select Charts
    Select Navigation Chart
    Select Menu
    Select Chart Setup

    Select Menu
    Select Navigation Chart Menu
    Select Chart Setup
    Select Tides/Currents

    After activating the Animated Tides and Currents feature, rather than showing a static indicator, tide and current stations will show an animated picture indicating the current status in that area according to the tide and current tables.

    When you move the cursor over the tide station indicator, the height of the tide at the station appears above the station indicator.
    Current direction indicators appear as arrows on the chart.
    The direction of each arrow indicates the direction of the current at a specific location on the chart.
    The color of the current arrow indicates the range of speed for the current at that location.
    When you move the cursor over the current direction indicator, the specific current speed at the location appears above the direction indicator.

    Thank for your detail instructions. However I want to know whether in Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia sea zone, with Bluecharts G2 Vision Garmin, can we show Animated Tide and Current Indicators in detail No.1 posting in this subject. In copase Bluecharts G2 Vision Garmin not support. As your opinion, what can I do to update the Animated Tide and Current Indicators by using the other softwares or other method?
    I know at Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia sea zone, only on FURUNO chart can be show Animated Tide and Current Indicators in detail. Can I extract Animated Tide and Current Information and after that build a new layer for Garmin Bluecharts.

    Dear Catymag and everybody,
    I really need to show the stream current direction arrow in the bluechart of Garmin. But in South China Sea area don't have the stream current data or only have the data at tide station. If you have any way to import the current data from other brands as Onwa, Furuno to Garmin bluechart, please show me how to do?

    Thanks and best regards,
