I have just returned from an extended ocean passage with the TZT 9; during the course of the passage the TZT 9 stopped following a route due to:
1. Crew mistakenly double tapping the screen
2. Two crew touching/using the screen at the same time
3. Contact with the screen by the cuff of a foul weather jacket sleeve
4. Water splashing on the screen from a quartering wave
#3 and #4 are particularly concerning as neither event was intentional.
I believe this is a common problem as Stop Navigation is the first option that pops up when touching the screen near the current position.
Over the course of two 5 day offshore passages, this was a regular event that could have been avoided if the TZT 9 provided a capability to lock the route or lock the screen from changes.
