I am looking to upgrade from a Nav Net 3d TZtouch xl 13. I see it has a 1KW fish finder in it. I have 2 airmar transducers (SS264 200/50) which plug into the DFF1 black box. Will these transducers plug into the TZTtouch? Will they provide the hi res images seen in the demo videos? Thanks
Upgrade from NavNet MFD12

The SS264 transducers aren't a listed transducer in the TZT13X transducer setup menu. However, you could connect them up and set it to a generic 1kW transducer and be able to use the internal fish finder. You could also continue to use your DFF1, if you wish. As far as the demo video, I don't know what specific video you are referring to, so I cannot say if it would look just like that. I would imagine they were using chirp transducers in the video and if they were, the "hi res images" would most likely look different.
Thanks Reaper. By chance are the ss264 n/w on the list?
Looking on the web I see the ss264 as a replacement for the Furuno B260 https://www.airmar.com/Product/SS264N
And https://chsmith.com.au/Products/Furuno-SS264-Transducer.html. Anyway if they will work under the generic setting, I am going to buy the unit. Thanks for your help.

I have 2 - ss64. one 200 and the other 50. Spoke with Airmar today. They are pretty old and was told the acrylic resin deteriorates and fails around 10 years. So I am thinking I need to replace them. I live in S. Florida, and run to the Bahamas to fish. Bottom fish and troll. I want the chirp and the 1kw. What would you recommend? Thx
I would recommend talking to others in your marina to see what they use. Alternatively, you could contact a local dealer because they would have a better idea of what works in your specific area. Here's a link to the dealer locator: https://furunousa.com/en/company/find_a_dealer
Also @Deep Blue may have a good suggestion for you.

Jon L,
Over the past decade, Airmar’s Low Frequency and High-wide Frequency transducers have been widely popular among anglers targeting deep-sea species beyond 1,000 feet, utilizing the Low frequencies of: (42-65 kHz). Additionally, the High-frequency wide-beam: (150-250 kHz) for use Near-shore has proven effective for locating those pelagic game fish within the top 500 feet, as well as detecting schools of bait.
The 1kW transducers that I like to use are the B175HW, B175L, or the B275LHW.

Yes, we have started having them pre-inserted if you don't see it right at the top of the box in the plastic bag with the manual. The factory is moving to have them pre-inserted because too many people toss out the materials without looking.
NN3D points are saved to SD card and then one would take that to a PC and transfer to a USB memory stick so that it can be imported directly into TZTXL.
Mapping subject is a totally different discussion than waypoints.
NN3D doesn't use C-map NT+ charts or chart cards. The NN3D uses MM3 mapmedia type charting like TZT-TZT3 uses. TZTXL can run the older MM3 but the new TZ Maps are the better option. Any mapping for the NN3D belongs to that system and could never be legally moved to the TZTXL. There is no compatibility between the NN3D MFDs and the XL MFDs. Too many years in between systems for that.
