Just installed TZBB

[trawler guy]

I bought my boat new 8 years ago and had NavNet3D system with two monitors. Loved the system. Unfortunately, last month I was in a lightning storm and damaged some equipment, black box being one of them. Just installed the new Furuno TZBB on Friday and while many, many features are great, I am disappointed with one feature I had on the NavNet3D but not available on the new TZBB.
With NavNet3D I had the ability to have the chart plotter on one screen, and radar on the other the screen. I called tech support and they told me that the new TZBB does not have this feature, it was removed. Why in the world would Furuno remove such a feature? It's a step backwords in my opinion. Basically, whatever I chose to have on one screen, I have on the other. Really makes no sense to me.
Anyone know if this is true? Possibly the tech support guy was wrong or I didn't explain my self clearly. Perhaps someone out here knows better.
Thank you.

First off, the feature was not removed as it was never part of the TZTBB. The TZTBB was developed to allow for the use of larger screens. (14" being the largest MFD)

The cost of the TZTBB is $5,095 list, while the still available MFDBB is currently $9,795 list. When it was a new product, about the time when it was new on your boat it was just under $11K.
The MFDBB had extended mode, which is what you refer to, and clone mode for upper/lower station applications. The TZTBB has only clone mode. You would need a second TZTBB to duplicate what you had. I am surprised your dealer did not point this out when you made your purchase.

I am sorry for the confusion and hope this clears it up.
