Is there a software upgrade for my HDS 5 that will show me the tides at my location?

What happens when you select tides from the menu?

I reread my owners guide and there is no mention of tides.
I just spent 15 minutes going through my units menu options, and there is no tide option.

Do you have a Gen2? Do you have a Navionics card?

Must be Gen2 or 3 and you it is only a Navionics function for a Gen2 unit.

So IF you have a Gen2 and a Navionics card, you must turn ON 'Dynamic Tides and Currents thru the menu system.
And you must have at least firmware version 2.0-45.135 or later.

Great time to upgrade to Gen3 7 inch....$300 off.

Edd, thanks.
I have a Gen 1.
I guess I'll just have to wait for Santa.
