TZT and TimeZero

[allrelative]

Not seeing the answers on the Furuno site and I must say, documentation for TimeZero is a bit mysterious and I am an IT guy.

I have a TZT3, DRS4D-NXT, NavNet 300 and SCX20. I want to add a PC, network hub and a NMEA 2000 gateway to display Charts, Sonar and radar data from TZT3 on the PC. How best can I do this, and do I need professional OR Navigator?

Here's a good place to start. TZ Navigator doesn't come with the radar module but Pro does. It looks like with the TZT3 most of the work is done just when connected via Ethernet.

If you buy a lot of charts the pro would be recommended because it offers a cross licence agreement so you buy unlock codes once for both systems. The extra cost on charts with running Navigator can quickly run up if you buy many charts for outside the USA. The Nobeltec team is helpful with questions on their products. (ph 503-579-1414). I would recommend discussing options with them directly.

Thank you both! I will give them a call this morning!

Thanks, that cleared it up. For what I was looking to accomplish(view Charts, Sonar and Radar data from the TZT3 on PC). The Navigator app, +Sonar module. +Radar module are required. Add the Network hub and the NMEA 2000 USB Gateway YDNU-02 from https://www.yachtd.com/products/usb_gateway.html and very bright touchscreen were required.

Pro is more money but includes radar, so it's really not much more. Go with plain Navigator+Radar if you want pretty and super easy. An IT person would probably value Pro for the wealth of features.

It will interconnect with both ethernet and NGT-1-USB or similar nmea2000 interface.
