Why should you choose TZ Navigator?

Maps
Have the world at your fingertips thanks to the mm3d charts catalog compatible with TZ Navigator. Its worldwide coverage is available with raster charts and vector charts (C-MAP and Datacore by Navionics). In addition, the TIMEZERO technology integrate an unparalleled chart engine where marine charts, 3D data and satellites photo are wisely mixed through PhotoFusion.

Weather & Tides
Enjoy our free Weather Forecast and tide database wherever you are navigating around the world.

Route Planning
The Route Planning Wizard allows you to compute departure time according to various conditions (Tides, Currents, Transit Time, etc.). Arrive at high tide or leave the harbor with optimal currents conditions has never been this easy!

Targets & POIs
Navigate safely with total peace of mind! TIMEZERO is the first navigation software to offer ActiveCaptain Points-of-Interest (POI) integration and real-time updating. The AIS function is also included by default in your features.

Interface
Because your software should be as comfortable as your boat, the latest generation of user-friendly interface is fully adapted to be used on touchscreen.
The user interface of TZ Navigator is intuitive and fully adapted to be used on touch screens! Touch screen makes your life much easier when it comes to route planning as well as all the other features which have made TIMEZERO a huge success for more than 30 years.

Your safety matters!
TZ Navigator comes with a suite of new features that will dramatically increase your safety onboard.
Route Planning is of the utmost importance for every boater. Our new technology assures the security of a route upon creation. Through color codes (green/red) it is instantaneously possible to know if the route is safe based on depth and vector chart objects (obstructions, wrecks, rocks etc.).
The new Security Cone is a feature in adherence with the official rules of the IMO. It uses the data in vector charts and 3D data to detect shallow areas and isolated dangers. If an obstacle is detected inside this cone in front of the boat’s trajectory, an anti-grounding alarm will automatically be triggered.
In addition, our new Odometer NavData will automatically display your trip information including Duration, Distance, Max Speed and Average speed.
With so many great new features, TZ Navigator is the perfect fit for recreational sailing and power boating. TZ Navigator v4 is the latest product to be released for recreational boaters that has made our company so successful for the past 30 years!

AIS Features
TZ Navigator’s AIS function enhances your collision avoidance abilities. With the built-in AIS functions and a connected AIS receiver, TZ Navigator displays AIS targets on the chart, along with the course, speed and immediate collision risks. With TZ Navigator, navigate safely with total peace of mind!

Free Weather Forecasts
TZ Navigator enables the download and display of weather forecasts in standard GRIB format directly through our Weather Wizard. This weather tool is completely free and easy to use, giving you unlimited access to worldwide weather forecasts 24 hours a day. Select a geographic coverage, data type, period of time and choose how to receive the file. TZ Navigator can provide up to 16 days of weather forecasts!

Furuno Advanced Compatibility – Additional Module
Connect directly to any Furuno NavNet system via a simple Ethernet connection. Users can easily access and control valuable information from their NavNet network, such as Radar Overlay and Fish Finder.

Weather Routing – Additional Module
Weather Routing Module enables you to calculate the optimal sailing route based on weather forecasts, currents, wind, polars of your boat and your own navigation style. The Weather Routing module goes even further, adding the following features:
One click comparison between several routes.
Option to pass a waypoint.
Waves are included for routing computation along with wind and currents.

TZ Professional v4

TZ Professional features some of the most advanced navigation, weather forecasting and fishing tools all in one simple to use and surprisingly affordable platform.

MaxSea TimeZero Professional v4 has now been released. This now has a very powerful oceanographic display. In addition to the standard (free) weather downloads, it is now possible to subscribe to oceanographic data such as sea surface temperature, salinity, chlorophyll, phytoplankton, etc. The values of these can be ‘tuned’ to display suitable fishing areas. In addition, if a vessel has a good catch, the conditions at that location can be saved and the system will show other locations with similar conditions.

In addition to the above, TimeZero Professional v4 also has new Furuno DDF3D and WASSP modules and can now accept hardness data from a large range of sounders. It can also be supplied with a Marport module which will show the position of the trawl doors.

New PBG module
The latest version of the PBG module will allow you to create charts of the seafloor even clearer and more realistic. The 2D and 3D imaging will now have customizable color coding scales which will allow for instantaneous precision research.
The new 3D view will make visualization of data even more simple and intuitive.

New profile window, a remarkable new tool!
Instantaneously display a point to point depth profile window. This 2D view will allow you to identify the depth variations with unequalled precision (rocks, shipwrecks, etc.).

Fishing Workspace
A workspace exclusively dedicated for professional fishermen will allow for personalization of 2D/3D so accessing information that is most pertinent is shown first.

Workboats

Compatibility with S57/S63 charts
Keeping up to date charts is an essential element to ensure the safety of all those at sea. TZ Professional is now compatible with the official S57/S63 formats.
The official S57/S63 charts are updated every week. These maps respect the S52 standard developed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). The iconography offers a simplified display in order to improve the readability of the marine charts on screens.

New Advanced Route Management
Route Planning is of the utmost importance for all professions at sea.
Our new technology assures the security of a route upon creation: Through color codes (green/red) it is instantaneously possible to know if the depth is sufficient for the safe passing of your boat. An automatic route wizard will provide you with information regarding to the optimal departure and arrival time, taking into account tides and currents.

New AIS Features

The configuration of AIS can sometimes prove to be complex. Our new AIS module allows for complete configuration of all information directly within TZ Professional (Status, Destination, etc.). Furthermore, it is now possible to receive and send AIS text messages from TZ Professional. This system will allow for simplified communication, free and individual with all boats which are equipped with AIS.

Security Cone
The new security cone is a feature in adherence with the official rules of the IMO. It takes into account the information of vector charts in order to detect isolated dangers and shallow areas. If an obstacle is detected inside this cone in front of the boat’s trajectory, an anti-grounding alarm will automatically be triggered.

Voyage Data Recorder Module
This new module that comes as an option, offers the possibility to save all the information received from the connected sensors to TZ Professional (GPS, radar, AIS, etc.). It is particularly useful in the case of an incident as it allows one to look back at all the available information relative to the surrounding environment of the boat at that given date and time.
