Hello everybody!
I seem to encountered a strange behavior of RM2 concerning this problem.
When I import a tide station from a text file with time zone set to UTC+1 and times set to local, in the imported tide station I get the times shifted 2 hours back???
In the text file the times are in range 9:30 to 15:00 and when I import them, they are in range 7:30 to 13:30!!!
I have tried to import this tide station from the same text file into RM1 and these times are not shifted and are the same as in the text file! (The time zone is also set to UTC+1 and Times local)
What is wrong with this?
I am really getting tired with these times issues :(

I have discovered something more that might be a solution to more of these problems with time zones.
However, in Display tab in Global Settings for Display Units Time, I had set to UTC. It seems that was causing all the troubles with Tide importing and even with tracks importing. I have set this option to Local and now my Tides are importing (showing) correctly.
So, my conclusion would be: If you want to use time zones and not just the UTC time, this option needs to be set on Local!!!
Please Matt, correct me if I wrote it wrong!
