Notes

2. Chart pack files range in size between 6 – 25 MBs, and may take several minutes to download over an average broadband connection. 
3. When the tidal information has been updated, the file AdmiraltyTidesFile.bin held in the folder C:\program Files\UKHORYA_CS\Tides can be copied to another PC/laptop if required.
