TimeZero TZ Professional V5 Marine Navigation Technology TimeZero TZ Professional V5 navigation software has been designed to answer the navigation needs and requirements of all professional seafarers. With features that are truly cutting-edge, TimeZero navigational software has two main objectives: Supreme control and performance. TimeZero TZ Professional V5 navigation software is a the solution for the most demanding professionals at sea.
Main Features of TimeZero TZ Professional
Compatibility with S57 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 formats. The official S57 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 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.
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.
Modules available as options
TZ Radar Module (with Furuno Radar)
Thanks to our partnership with FURUNO, the world’s leading marine electronics manufacturer, TIMEZERO software offers exclusive, native compatibility (simple Ethernet connection) with all the FURUNO DRS antennas as well as the commercial series of FURUNO FAR radars. The radar image can be overlaid directly on the chart in order to have a better understanding of the data. TIMEZERO offers the ability to take full control of the radar directly from a dedicated workspace (Gain, Seaclutter, Rainclutter, etc.).
TIMEZERO can be connected to a Furuno NavNet3D or TZtouch network allowing full control of the DRS radars (with or without an MFD on the network). This means that you can display the radar image directly in TIMEZERO software, enjoy full control of the Radar from your software, and overlay the radar image on your charts. Radar overlay is an effective safety tool that allows you to understand your surroundings in relation to your current position. The Furuno radar module is sold as an option for TZ Navigator and is included standard in TZ Professional.
TZ Radar Module (with Furuno Radar) includes:
- NavNet 3D/TZtouch DRS and FAR2XX7 network connection (view and control the radar)
- Shared Charts Licensing with NavNet 3D and NavNet TZtouch
- Route Synchronization with NavNet 3D and NavNet TZtouch
- Full Screen Radar Work Space and Chart Radar Overlay
- New local ARPA Algorithm with Automatic ARPA acquisition (guard zone)
TZ Sounder Module
Thanks to it being fully compatibility with Furuno Digital Filter (FDF™) fish finders, the sounder module allows you to enjoy all the advanced features of Furuno sounder such as: Sounder Echogram, Accu-Fish, Bottom Discrimination.
Wide range of compatible sounders
Directly connected to the echo sounder or via a NavNet3D equipment, the Sounder module unlocks a dedicated workspace to display and control FURUNO fish finders DFF1, DFF3, FCV1150, DFF1-UHD and BBDS1.
Sounder Echogram Display
The Echogram display provides Echo presentation with real time A-Scope thanks to FURUNO’s digital filter technology. Digital Filter (FDF™) fish finders offer advanced filtering capabilities and digital auto tuning, which eliminates noise, while delivering the ability to spot individual fish with clarity, accuracy and detail.
TZ Sounder Module (with Furuno Sounder) includes:
- DFF1, BBDS1, DFF1-UHD, DFF3 & FCV1150 (3) Network Connection (view and control the sounder)
- Full Screen Sounder Work Space with echogram history
TZ Weather Routing Module
The Weather Routing module combines with both TZ Navigator v3 and TZ Professional v3 to provide a route that will optimize the time taken to travel on a sailboat using the weather forecast information and your boat’s polars.
Regatta Navigation Type
TIMEZERO’s roots trace back to racing and pioneering the racing world by being the first to develop an algorithm to optimize the best route based on the forecasted wind, waves and currents as well as the polars of your boat. The weather routing module provides the fastest way to get across the finish line.
Recreational Sailor Navigation Type
Sailing at sea with friends or family is an adventure of a lifetime. Having the best routing software at your side will help you become more prepared against the elements making the adventure more enjoyable.
Weather Routing
Be prepared whatever the weather throws at you. The Weather Routing module is a simple yet powerful tool which calculates the fastest route for a sailboat. Weather forecasts and polars allow the TIMEZERO software to provide an extremely accurate calculation on the fastest route from point A to point B.
TZ Routing Module includes:
- Routing according to wind, waves and currents
- Isochrones with SailSet overlay
- Alternate routing
- Routing Detail (List)
