Written in partnership with Furuno

Furuno has introduced the black box TZTBBX, the newest system in the TZtouchXL lineup of Multi-Function Displays (MFDs). Featuring a multi-touch interface and powered by a hexacore processor, the TZTBBX supports up to six-way split windows on virtually any size displays.

The system includes all-new TZ MAPS, offering highly detailed cartography with customizable features like AI Routing. These charts combine the detail of raster charts with the flexibility of vector charts, offering crisp visuals at any magnification level. Boaters can also manage chart objects, customize depth color shading, and create contour lines with a resolution down to 3″.

The TZTBBX includes all of the advanced safety features of NavNet TZtouchXL, including Risk Visualizer and AI Avoidance Route, which visually represents collision risks and suggests safer routes based on vessel speed, traffic, stationary objects, and depth information.

NavNet TZtouchXL’s interface includes Edge Swipe functions for quick access to key features. With a free TimeZero account, users can back up or retrieve data from the cloud and sync TZ MAPS with the TZ iBoat app and TZ Pro software for remote planning and navigation. The TZTBBX is also compatible with all TZtouchXL peripheral devices, such as Radar, Fish Finders, AIS, and NavPilot Autopilots. It supports essential security features like PIN Code Lock.

Since then we’ve repowered, installed Starlink, and retired from work. Now, with confidence in our engine and our connectivity and more time to sail, we were Superior-ready.
