If you lose internet connection or don't have your phone, you will be able to see the last loaded informaion and a timestamp when it was last updated. Effortless Configuration. Say goodbye to manual coordinates or frustrating location pairing. Find your nearest station ID on the NOAA Tides and Currents website (e.g., 8665530 for Charleston, SC). Open the Garmin Connect IQ app on your phone, go to this app's Settings, and paste the number. Your watch handles the rest, fetching live data directly via your phone's internet connection.
