Discover the latest release of TZ iBoat. TZ iBoat v3 introduces TZ MAPS, the revolutionary marine chart format that integrates Raster and Vector data, detailed land information, high-resolution satellite photos, and high-resolution Bathymetry.
TZ MAPS: So much more than nautical charts
TZ MAPS introduces all of the following:
Raster and Vector Charts: With the latest Vector charts, and official Raster charts included for many regions, you no longer have to choose between them. Seamlessly switch between both chart formats at your own leisure, for an optimal navigation experience.
Raster Charts and High-Resolution satellite photos not available in all areas.
BathyVision: Unveil what lies beneath the ocean’s surface with our high-definition bathymetric charts. This feature provides a detailed topography of the ocean floor and includes adjustable contour lines’ density and shading to help you locate high-potential fishing areas.
BathyVision resolution varies according to areas. In some cases, high-resolution data is mixed with low-resolution data to produce a more complete composite image.
Dynamic Moorings: This feature will guide you to the safest anchoring spot, taking into account real-time weather data and other critical information, helping you to anchor safely and with peace of mind.
Community Maps: gain access to a wealth of community knowledge through these crowd-sourced charts and contribute to the marine chart data in your navigation area. These charts are the perfect way of sharing expert knowledge, discovering hidden gems, and helping other boaters to avoid dangerous predicaments.
Dynamic Lights: This feature will help visualize light sectors according to your boat’s position and field of vision, helping provide a clear view of your ships position in relation to the surrounding environment.
Smart Search: Find what you need quickly with this built-in high-performance search engine. Whether you’re looking for a specific location, buoy, tide station, or other information on your charts, this feature will help simplify the process and take you directly to your target on the map.
Smart Zones: This feature will help keep you on the right course by creating an alarm to let you know when your boat enters or leaves specific areas on the nautical charts, such as a restricted or forbidden area. Configure the type to suit your preferences, and display NavData to see a list of all zones in which your boat is located.
Route Assist: This feature allows you to automatically complete the route between the starting and ending waypoints you set, ensuring it avoids obstructions and adheres to safety. What makes it unique is that you retain full control by adding, removing, or adjusting waypoints, seeing the route update in real time.
Route Assist is for planning purposes only and does not replace safe navigation operations.
Sailing can be unpredictable, so it is our priority to help keep you safe. Dynamic Moorings will help guide you to the safest location to anchor, based on important information such as real-time weather data and topography, while the Anchor Alarm feature will keep you informed and in control, triggering an alarm on your device should your boat stray too far from the anchored point.
Transform your phone into the ultimate marine logbook, by using the trips feature to log essential details such as distance, duration, COG, SOG, pictures, and catches. Start TZ iBoat before your trip, track your performances, revisit your data anytime, and locate the same great spot again by following the geo-reference of your photo.
Additionally, you can share your trips, and connect with friends and family in the app. You can also share your real-time location with your followers and loved ones, for added security.
In addition to multi-day weather forecasts, a premium weather service is also available on TZ iBoat that gives you access to unlimited, and precise weather forecasts to help you prepare for everything that lies ahead.
These forecasts include advanced weather displays and a meteogram, and are completely downloadable.
With the recent addition of BathyVision, the benefits to fishing enthusiasts have been elevated to a whole new level. This feature allows you to explore the ocean's depths, uncovering the perfect fishing spots. But that’s not all! TZ iBoat allows users to record essential data of their catch, such as weight, size, photos and exact locations. This feature will help you revisit your favorite fishing areas, to repeat your successes. Give it a try and make your trips more productive and enjoyable!
When you purchase a TZ MAPS area for PC software, you can use it for free on our iOS application TZ iBoat! Build your route from your PC, and everything will appear on your mobile device screen! Once on the water with TZ iBoat, plot your marks and pictures and they will be synched on your PC screen.
In addition to the free app’s main features, TZ iBoat offers optional features for you to make the best of your coastal navigation. Three modules have been developed to allow connecting and receiving your marine equipment data such as your radar (Furuno DRS4W), your Fish Finder (Furuno FCV-600 or FCV-800) and your AIS receiver.
Radar module: this module makes it possible to connect your DRS4W Furuno radar to your TIMEZERO application to overlay in real-time the radar image directly on your marine chart. You can also display the traditional radar screen on your TZ iBoat. Operating on a Wifi network, simply plug in the radar power cable and you are ready to go!
AIS module: this module allows you to monitor maritime traffic in your navigation area. It will increase your safety by displaying all AIS targets on your iPad and iPhone thanks to your AIS wifi receiver and emitter. This module also gives you access to AIS targets beyond your local receiver’s range by connecting to our global AIS network via the Internet. When enabled, any AIS targets within your local receiver’s range will automatically be shared with the community.
Sounder module: This module makes TZ iBoat compatible with Furuno’s FCV-600 and FCV-800 Fish Finders (Best New Product award at the 2023 NMEA Marine Electronics Conference & Expo). It offers remote sounder image display capabilities via Wireless LAN. This allows you to link to an iOS device running TZ iBoat and enjoy the same controls from anywhere on the boat. TZ iBoat is the very first marine navigation app to display a sounder image and once again a great companion to enjoy Furuno’s powerful technology!
