FURUNO LAUNCHES THE NEW SOFTWARE VERSION 2.01 FOR MULTIFUNCTION DISPLAY NAVNET TZTOUCH 3!


Furuno is excited to announce a major #software update for their flagship Multi Function Display (MFD) line, NavNet TZtouch3. Version 2.01 #software is now available for free for all NavNet TZtouch3 MFDs, adding new functionality and enhancing existing features.

Among the host of new functionality version 2.01 #software brings to the MFDs are some ground-breaking new features, including the amazing PBG (Personal Bathymetric Generator) functionality for creating your own shaded relief maps of the seafloor with the DFF3D Multi-Beam Sonar.

PBG: Personal Bathymetric Generator

NavNet TZtouch3 users with the DFF3D Multi-Beam Sonar will be excited to learn of the new PBG functionality available in this #software update. PBG allows the operator to create custom high-resolution shaded relief charts of the seafloor using their DFF3D.

The operator can create accurate custom charts quickly and easily due to the 120-degree beamwidth of the DFF3D transducer. Instead of only one depth point per ping as seen on other manufacturer's units, the DFF3D produces over 50 depth points with each ping, resulting in fast and efficient custom charts stored locally on the TZtouch3 MFD.

How does PBG work?

Bottom images are drawn with shaded relief, depth contours, and variable colors, making it easy to identify hidden structure and ridges that hold fish in a simple, easy-to-interpret presentation. Multiple color palettes are available, including the ability to show contour lines only. The area each ping covers is approximately twice the depth at the time of recording, so at a depth of 100 meters, a 200 meter-wide area is displayed and recorded to your NavNet TZtouch3 MFD. 

TZtouch3's PBG incorporates inertially stabilized and tide-compensated calculations that result in highly accurate bottom mapping previously available only with elaborate, survey-grade acoustic measuring systems. While PBG is simple to use and the detailed bottom maps it produces are easy to understand at a glance, the engineers at #furuno spent years developing the hardware and #software to make it accurate and intuitive. Bottom mapping data is saved to the 256GB microSD card that comes in every NavNet TZtouch3 Multi Function Display - enough memory to store a lifetime of PBG data.

P.S.= PBG works with the NMEA Award-winning DFF3D Multi-Beam Sonar connected to a NavNet TZtouch3 TZT9F, TZT12F, TZT16F, or TZT19F MFD. To achieve maximum performance and precision of bottom mapping, it is recommended to interface Satellite Compass #furuno in addition to a correct calibration of the DFF-3D.
