NavNet TZtouchXL Black Box Chartplotter
Powerful Technology
Explore the future of navigation with the Black Box NavNet TZtouchXL TZTBBX and enhance the functionality and style of your helm. NavNet TZtouchXL delivers the ability to tailor the helm to meet the captain's exact needs, with magnetron or Solid-State Doppler Radars, high-powered Fish Finders, AIS, Autopilot, and Deep Water Multibeam Sonar options, and more!
NavNet TZtouchXL delivers features like TZ MAPS with BathyVision, the most advanced and capable electronic charts in the world. The TZ Maps engine draws upon a worldwide database of high-resolution information to create crisp, clear navigation with a variety of color themes and fishing charts with fully editable color palettes. TZ Maps delivers a timeless navigation experience at any magnification. It sounds incredible, and it is - you have to see it to believe it!
Effortless Control
You asked for the simplest interface possible, and we were listening. We’ve delivered the most intuitive UI available, bar-none, and you’ll be navigating with all the power and simplicity you demand. If you swipe your phone, you can operate TZtouchXL. With edge-swipe features and single-tap menu options, you’re never more than a tap or swipe away from what you want to see or do because NavNet TZouchXL provides the easiest and most powerful MFD on the planet.
See more with TZ MAPS
With TZ MAPS, navigators control what map data they want to download, such as incredibly wide chart areas, satellite photos, and bathymetric data. Purchase incredibly wide chart areas directly from the MFD! Custom depth color shading and bathymetric data overlays create navigational charts of unmatched detail and clarity, rendered with a variety of color themes to provide an electronic charting experience that goes far beyond any premium chart service before it. You can create your custom objects or make updates to charted objects, such as buoys, so when they move from their previously charted positions, they can be updated on the system on the fly. Custom user objects can be shared with other registered TZ MAPS users through TimeZero's moderated service, and can be turned on and off in the Layers menu, available with a single edge swipe up from the bottom of the display. Purchase of any TZ MAPS area also unlocks added functionality, such as powerful AI Routing that intelligently plans out routes, taking into consideration the boat's draft as well as charted depths and navigational obstacles. The purchase of any TZ MAPS chart unlocks those charts in the free TZ iBoat app for mobile devices such as a phone or tablet, providing you with a free home planning app that will transfer your points and routes directly to the TZtouchXL. With a free TimeZero account, waypoints and routes can be easily backed up or retrieved from the cloud with just a few taps, ensuring all the data you’ve worked so hard to create remains safe and secure.
Experience 'off-the-charts' bathymetric data with BathyVision
BathyVision for TZ MAPS provides truly ‘off the charts’ bathymetric data with contour lines that can be configured with a single tap. When we say configurable, we’re talking down to a resolution of a mere 3 inches between contours - that's 3x better than any other bathymetric chart currently on the market. Bathymetric data is rendered from the same high-resolution database used for TZ MAPS’ custom depth shading and can be overlaid onto the navigation charts to create fishing charts unlike any seen before.
The Benchmark for Radar
However you spend your time on the water, you need a Radar you can rely on to keep you safe. Whether you choose the time-tested X-Class magnetron option or NXT Solid-State Doppler models, Furuno Radar delivers power and clarity like you’ve never seen and provides the assurance that you’re navigating with the most reliable and feature-packed equipment on the planet. From the compact DRS2DNXT/DRS4DNXT domes to the high-power 200-watt DRS25ANXT open array, you’ll quickly become accustomed to the dynamic features that only Furuno provides, like Target Analyzer™ that alert you to potentially hazardous targets, Fast Target Tracking that displays a speed and course vector in seconds, best-in-the-business Bird Mode to track elusive flocks and even individual birds feeding on baitfish, and Rain Mode that can pick out and display in different colors the targets you need to see through even the nastiest of squalls. Plus, TZtouchXL introduces Radar features, like Risk Visualizer™ and AI Avoidance Route™, that help keep you safe on the water.
Risk Visualizer™ and AI Avoidance Route™
Risk Visualizer™ is a unique function of Furuno Radars that provides a visual representation of potential collision risks of approaching objects around the vessel. Unlike CPA/TCPA alarms which indicate only the risks visible on the ship’s current course, Risk Visualizer™ assesses all objects 360° around the vessel. Dynamic icons are automatically created for targets with the highest collision probability, ensuring the captain has the information needed to maintain safe distances when passing.
The AI Avoidance Route™ feature available with TZ MAPS takes all the information provided by the Radar and instantly determines and provides a safe route around those hazards.
Never lose waypoints, routes, or settings again with TZ Cloud
Create your routes at home using TZ Navigator, a web browser*, or the TZ iBoat iOS App, then download them to your TZtouchXL MFD from the cloud. You can also backup all of the events on your MFD and retrieve them at home, because your data is synchronized automatically & securely. TZ Cloud saves all of your marks, routes, boundaries, photos, and catch data - with a free TimeZero account, all of your data can be backed up or retrieved with just a few taps. The purchase of any TZ MAPS chart directly from the MFD also unlocks those charts in the free TZ iBoat app for mobile devices such as a phone or tablet and TZ Pro navigation software, providing the only home planning solution you'll ever need.
Built-In CHIRP Side-Scan
Furuno’s CHIRP Side-Scan for NavNet TZtouchXL scans both port and starboard, illuminating the shape of the bottom structure in high definition. CHIRP Side-Scan reveals the shape of fish targets and fish-hoarding structure on each side of your vessel. CHIRP from 230kHz or 445kHz center frequencies with thru-hull, paired, or transom mount transducer options. CHIRP Side-Scan is built into the TZT10X/13X/16X and can be accessed by any TZtouchXL MFD on the network.
A Dream Machine for Fishing Fanatics
We've raised the bar for sportfishing enthusiasts once again with an MFD series designed to cater to the needs of avid anglers. The NavNet TZtouchXL series includes all the features fishermen desire, including exclusive, never-before-seen features in recreational navigation devices. The TZT10X, TZT13X, and TZT16X feature a built-in 1kW TruEcho™ CHIRP or CW Fish Finder as well as built-in 230kHz or 455kHz CHIRP Side-Scan to show fish and fish-hoarding structure in great detail port to starboard, providing crucial insights for successful fishing trips. The TZT22X and TZT24X have full control across the NavNet network, and you can tailor the system with a wide array of high-powered Fish Finders for deep dropping.
Deep Water Multibeam Sonar
Normal down-sounding Fish Finders have a beam angle of 40Ëš or less. But with the DFF3D Multibeam Sonar, you'll see a 120-degree swath, offering seafloor coverage up to 3X water depth. Plus, with the power of the DFF3D, you can see fish directly below the boat 300m (nearly 1,000ft). The DFF3D's versatile operating modes give you a better understanding of fish targets than any normal Fish Finder can deliver. The 3D sounder history provides an intuitive and easy-to-understand 3D image of the seafloor, along with fish school icons - useful when selecting a fishing hot spot or assessing the seabed condition. Triple-Beam mode tells you not only the depth but also the direction (port/down/starboard) of fish targets. Cross Section displays the real-time sea column echo in a 120Ëš swath, and Side-Scan displays the shape and structure of targets both port and starboard.
Total Control
Looking for an added element of control? The vertically-oriented MCU006 and horizontal MCU006H are capable of controlling any TZtouchXL MFD in the network. Both feature a comfortable RotoKey™ and ten dedicated dual-purpose buttons that operate different functions, including the ability to access the Edge Swiping functionality that makes the NavNet TZtouch series so easy to use.
