Furuno Brings Total Tztouch Control to Android Devices

Navnet TZtouch

In a world where frequent system updates for your phone, tablet and computer are the norm, it is great to see that the marine electronics field is keeping pace. When Furuno introduced the NavNet TZtouch system, they explained how they were using the very latest processors, which would allow the system to stay current for several years. Through software updates and new features, Furuno has done an excellent job keeping the system fresh. Now, they are taking it one step further by introducing more FREE Apps that connect TZtouch with Android devices!

Furuno has developed a new NavNet Controller app that provides TZtouch users with a wireless remote control for their TZT9/14/BB systems, simply by utilizing an Android phone or tablet. Just like you control your TV and DVD player from the comfort of your couch, you can now sit back in your captain’s chair and control everything TZtouch has to offer, right from your Android device. The NavNet Controller app provides on-screen cursor control, chart panning and a very convenient chart zoom feature. The clean and simple ergonomic design of this app allows you to easily control your TZtouch system without even looking down at the Android device.

In addition to the Controller app, Furuno’s current NavNet Remote and NavNet Viewer apps, (previously only available for iOS devices), are now also available for Android devices. All three of these apps are available for free on the Google Play Store. For Apple users, never fear, a version of the Controller App will be available for iOS devices very soon. So, no matter which device you use, Furuno will have a free app for your device, giving you the freedom of total control of your NavNet TZtouch system.

Exposure’s X2 searchlight endorsed by the Norwegian Sea Rescue Association

The Norwegian Sea Rescue Association (NSRA), Redningsselskapet, has recommended the British made Exposure Marine X2 search light for the professional and recreational marine market, by adding it to their existing range of recommended safety equipment.

The NSRA, Norway’s equivalent to the British based RNLI, a voluntary, membership-based organisation that aims to save lives and protect the environment, runs a fleet of high speed rescue craft based at 57 stations along the Norwegian coast. The X2 is to be used and tested throughout the fleet.   Operating in near arctic conditions, man overboard (MOB) and rescue situations become ever more life threatening due to the cold.   The NSRA chose the X2 due to its MOB related features, including a brilliant 700 lumens searchlight, as well as its high-powered SOS and Strobe facility easily visible from over

Tactical Flashlight – TEAL XF3000

This impressive LED flashlight is powered by three Lithium-Ion batteries, each producing 3.7 volts (not AAA as reported earlier). These are rechargeable batteries and the light kit includes the charger. The light can be reduced in size and weight by unscrewing one battery in its case and it will work well with the remaining two batteries. We liked the brilliance of the three-battery set-up best. The suggested retail price is just under $200 for the whole kit.

Centre console designs have been developed for the southern blue water sport fishing enthusiasts (and this boat would raise fish with the best of them) but the Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console offers far more utility and enjoyment than just fishing.

Ron and Pat Reder started out in October 1984 across the road from where they are right now on the Bayfield River in Bayfield ON. The store front was about 10 x 20 and the rest of that side of the building was a stock room, wood finishing room, then behind that was more back stock and the lunchroom. Expanding every few years for the store front, then moving over to this new building five years ago, this year with Adam, Shelley, and Holly are carrying on the business.
