Maretron integration to TZ3 with new html5 unit

[pete_2888]

Hi,
I have been working with Maretron equipment for some time and finally the long awaited HTML5 webserver has been released by Maretron (WSV100) https://www.maretron.com/products/pdf/MConnect Datasheet.pdf and its looking really great, finally we can integrate the buttons from Maretron's MConnect devices. I have been testing for a while with Simrad gear and it looks pretty good with much nicer graphics. My question is will Furuno support this feature on the TZ3 series of MFD's just like the other HTML5 products like Victron/Seakeeper etc - and what is the time frame likely for this? Or is there another way of adjusting the IP address is Furuno and getting access to the HTML5 pages on the WSV100?
Thanks, Pete

The software for this compatibility was released this past Sunday. You can update via USB or, if you have V3.01 or higher, you can update via Wi-Fi.

Is there any info on what the integration looks like?

Which version supports this? My TZ3 says I'm fully updated but I don't see the option for adding an HTML screen.

I added the WSV100 to the Furuno ethernet network, it pulls an IP address and then when I go to create a new "screen" from the home screen, I see an "M" icon that I can drag into the screen the same as a radar/chart/weather/camera/etc... Once I did that I just select that screen and the Mconnect screens are shown.

Does anyone have any slowness issues with reading this HTML5 pages from Furuno's TZ3- the WSV100 is very slow at loading. I tried the victron webpage and similar thing. Perhaps just need to play with IP address and routing.
