EMC Charts

[Fentregk]

NOAA is making the transition to ENC Charts. Are the current TZT3 systems comparable going forward?

We don't discuss future development or internal planning in public forums. Any announced changes are provided through press releases and dealer bulletins. ENC charts are not currently supported.

The TimeZero vector charts are derived from the NOAA ENCs so in a sense you already support ENCs. It's just that they have to have a format conversion to the TZ readable version. I guess if the issue is whether a directly downloaded NOAA chart is readable, the answer would be no unless the unit software is changed.

As far as I know, none of the recreational MFDs can display a NOAA ENC without some intermediate processing/format conversion. Only computer based navigation software has that capability today.

Quitsa,

A very helpful explanation. Thank you.
