Title: ALL SI Models - Sunset, sunrise info
Post by: noxpertjim on September 21, 2009, 07:13:44 PM

Model:	ALL SI Models
Suggested Upgrade:	Sunset, sunrise info
Explanation:	An inclusion of sunset and sunrise data from GPS would be beneficial in certain circumstances, ie. tournaments, etc.  That info is readily available via the satellite feeds and could be displayed on the GPS diagnostic screen on any unit.
Added in Software Version:

This would be a very nice addition.  Sunrise and Sunset data is basically a calculation just like the tide data.  It is probably already included on the Navionics Charts.  The Hummibird Software developers probably just need to enable the software to retrieve the data.

I don’t see why this could not be programmed directly into the unit itself for use without a mapping card.  Based on your Lat/Lon location the sunrise/sunset should be very predictable (unless someone knows something that we don’t!).  Moon phases would be good as well…
