Tide app feature
Choose Any New Location on Map
Not every tide check starts from a saved favorite. The map picker gives you a fast way to move to a new area, center the map, and use that spot for a more exact tide check.
Why this feature matters
Coastal planning often changes once you see crowds, wind, swell, beach access, or travel timing.
A map-based picker helps people explore nearby options instead of being locked into a fixed list.
Precision matters when a small shift in location can change how useful the tide check becomes.
How Tide Buoy uses it
- Lets you move the map to a new coastal area quickly.
- Shows a clear location pin and coordinate readout before you commit to the spot.
- Makes it easier to test alternate beaches, harbors, or shoreline access points.
Best real-world uses
- Finding a better launch or fishing area nearby.
- Checking a destination you have not saved yet.
- Comparing multiple local spots before deciding where to go.
