Tide Now USA West vs WireSizer Utilisation & Stats

Tide Now USA West is a tide calculator for Washington, Oregon, California, Alaska, and Hawaii. The tides are calculated very quickly using built-in tide data, internet is not required. Tabs and Gestures The app uses a familiar tab bar approach. The icons along the bottom allow you to choose what you want to do. The active tab is marked by a blue tint. THE TIDE REPORT TAB The left most tab is "Tide Report". It can be presented in either "Bright" or "Dark" according to settings. The tide report includes the location (station name) and state. It next lists the region and geographic coordinates (Latitude and Longitude). The report shows the date, time, and time zone the tides were calculated for. It next includes a NOW line, the present tide height and direction of change. Then the day's tide table is printed. Below the tide table is the tide graph for the day. Along the top of the graph is shown sunrise and sunset time, aligned to the 24 hour time line of the graph. You can have a highlighted portion on the graph lighting up those hours the sun is up. On the bright graph, this is shown in yellow. The tide heights are shown on the left side of the graph, and the times along the bottom. You can have the times shown in AM/PM or military time. The red dashed line marks the present time. The red dots on the graph are the high and low tides. Gestures and quick links on the Tide Report Tab The three blue links near the top let you show the Prior Day, the Next Day, or Now,Today. Gestures are provided for the same functions: left swipe, right swipe, and long press. If you have changed the date, the now, today button restores the date to the present. If the app has been sitting idle for some time, you might want to press the refresh to update the current tide status and time mark on the graph. These change throughout the day. THE LOCATION TAB The Location Tab allows you to specify which location you want the tides for. There are three scrolling wheels, top to bottom. The top one chooses a state. When you have chosen a state the next scroll wheel will show you the regions within that state. When you have selected a region the next scroll wheel allows you to choose your desired tide station. Selection is ready when all the state, region, and stations highlighted choices are what you want. At this point you can tap the Select Station button and the display will change to the Tide Report. Alternately, just choose the Tide Report tab and you will get a tide report for that location. When a selection is ready you can also tap the Show on Map button. The latitude and longitude will be transferred to the built in map application and the area around the tide station will be shown. You can zoom in, zoom out, or scroll around the area. When finished, there is a back link in the upper left hand corner to return to the tide app. THE USER DATE TAB The User Date tab allows you to enter a date, if you are considering days other than today such as planning a clamming trip. Normally you can leave this alone otherwise. THE SETTINGS TAB The Settings tab lets you choose how the Display looks- Bright, Dark, or Auto Day/Nite. It lets you choose a time format - AM/PM or military. It lets you turn on or off a highlighted Daylight Hours Display - an area on the tide graph. Finally, it allows you to turn on or off the Graph Gride. These settings are to allow you to control how detailed of a graph you want to see. THE SHORTCUTS TAB The Shortcuts tab lets you save six different tide stations for immediate access. If you long-press one of the six buttons, the current station will be saved. If you short-press one of the buttons where you already saved a station, the Tide Report tab will be immediately shown with that station's tide.

WireSizer

WireSizer is the simple and intuitive way to calculate the wire gauge needed for a desired voltage drop for most common DC applications up to 60 volts. It is great for doing quick calculations when updating wiring on boats, RVs, trucks, cars, radios, or other "low voltage" DC applications for both do-it-yourselfers and professionals. Others agree! "This app is a joy to use! ...you'll be able to get the right wire gauge to use every time. Nice." - Cruising World Blog (11/27/2012) "It is a must have for your electrical toolbox." - i-marineapps (2/9/2013) To find your proper wire, simply select your DC voltage, your current, and the length of your circuit with simple flicks of your finger. No keyboard input needed! WireSizer will automatically calculate the minimum wire size for different percentages of voltage drop under normal or "engine compartment" operating conditions using copper wire. Wire gauge recommendations include commonly available sizes in AWG, SAE and ISO/Metric. Using properly sized wire is important. Undersized wire can lead to equipment malfunction or failure, and oversized wire will add to cost and can be harder to work with. And unlike "online" wire gauge calculators, WireSizer will work wherever or whenever you need it. WireSizer allows you to select voltages up to 60 VDC, current up to 500 amps, and total circuit length in feet or meters up to 600 feet (or 200 meters). Results calculated are for voltage drops between 1 and 20 percent (which you can "flip" through to find the one which is best for your purpose), and wire sizes between 4/0 and 18 gauge AWG and SAE, and 0.75 to 92 mm. WireSizer will also let you select whether the wire is going to run through an engine compartment or a similarly "hot" environment, is sheathed, bundled, or in conduit, and select the wires insulation rating (60C, 75C, 80C, 90C, 105C, 125C, 200C) to fine tune your results. And finally, the voltage drop calculation results are compared with the safe current carrying capacity (or "ampacity") of the wire, to make sure the wire suggested is suitable. And for your convenience, WireSizer also includes a "Materials List" for you to record all of your wire selections. WireSizer gauge calculation results meet ABYC E11 specifications (standard requirement for boats, excellent guidelines for other uses) provided you have clean connections, and are using good quality wire. ABYC specifications meet or exceed NEC where applicable, and correspond to ISO/FDIS. * * * NOT FOR USE WITH AC CIRCUITS * * * If you have any questions (or complaints!), please email us. Ad free, and will cost less than the wire scraps you probably throw away at the end of the day.
