Claim 19:
20. A method for displaying tidal current information for a movable body on an image displayed on a display screen, comprising:
capturing an image and generating image data;
detecting a position of the movable body via a positional sensing system;
receiving and storing tidal current information based on the detected position;
calculating an estimated time for the movable body to reach a predetermined position;
generating display data for displaying a first graphical user interface (GUI) for displaying the tidal current information corresponding to the predetermined position on the image displayed on the display screen;
generating the display data for displaying a second graphical user interface (GUI) for displaying the tidal current information at the detected position of the movable body if the detected position of the movable body coincides with the predetermined position of the tidal current;
superimposing the first and second GUIs on the image; and
displaying the superimposed image on the display screen, wherein
the first GUI is configured for showing:
a first gauge including the estimated time to reach the predetermined position, a direction and a speed of the tidal current at the estimated time, and
a first triangle-shaped indicator movable around a periphery of the first gauge for indicating a direction of the tidal current with respect to an estimated heading direction of the of the movable body at the estimated time.
