There is a whole bunch of them in Google Playstore, but some are for US only and some require WiFi signal. What m.oron is making tide apps requiring network? If I have a network, I can use my laptop same well...

Have not used any of these... but all of them specifically indicate they can be used offline:

I believe this is the app on my tablet. It does have several Baja stations: San Felipe, Puertecitos, Ensenada, Santa Rosalia, Loreto, San Carlos, La Paz. I have not used it down there, yet.

Thanks, guys. Will see which app is easier. The very 1st one on the list, by muchoviento, with a nondescript name "Tide Predictions" looks easy to read. There are just 5 or 6 stations on the Cortez side of Baja, no matter what app.

What area are you looking for?

Alm - 3-8-2014 at 07:23 PM

North, from St. Rosalia to Puertecitos.

Is it not easy to just go on-line and print the tide charts off for the dates you will need? :?:

Probably. Offline apps are calculated for a few years in advance. It's just easier to carry Android in a pocket or drybag than messing with crumpled wet paper. It's good for nothing when it's wet, can't even wipe you ars:biggrin:
