For a very slick and relatively inexpensive solution, check out
http://www.toolworks.com/bilofsky/tidetool.htm freeware. I've used
Tidetool from the Bahamas to Maine and coverage is available for much of the
world, including the US West Coast. It runs on any Palm device with
sufficient memory and I much prefer it to the Garmin tide utility on my
176C. Makes a nice backup device and allows one to check tide (and some
current) info without having to scroll around on the GPS or chartplotter.
Also has many more intermediate stations than the Garmin.

I just purchased the Tidefinder TF-20 - in perfect condition, off
EBay. Now all I need is to figure how to program it. Do you have a
manual that I could copy?

We use a Tidefinder, a handheld electronic tide calculator with more tide
and current locations than anything else I've seen. I haven't been able
to find it anywhere on the web except here (scroll to the bottom of the
page):

I think it's made in Bellingham, WA. It's well worth tracking down.
