The boat I recently purchased has Furuno equipment. Part of it is an older NavNet system with open array radar and sounder. I assume when the other unit failed, they replaced it with a TzT2 and a new autopilot. The systems obviously do not communicate with each other.
I have little recent experience with Furuno and am having a time getting what I want for charts on the TzT2. I visited Blue Water Charts in Ft Lauderdale to see what I could purchase for unlock codes but am a bit stymied. I want some decent bathymetric charts with charted wrecks and reefs marked. According to them, the CMap chart will not give that to me and neither will the "fishing" chart. The only option is to buy the CMor chart at $700 which would give me bottom detail. As far as I can tell, downloadable waypoints that mark all of Florida's artificial reefs are not compatible with Furuno.
All I can say is that coming from the Garmin and Simrad world, this has not been user friendly.
Any suggestions?
