Recreational
TZ Navigator, the perfect fit for recreational sailing and motor boat users. A cutting-edge navigation software, specifically designed for use aboard sailing and power boats.

The new version of TZ Navigator combines the successful features of our entry level product for sailing or motor boat (Waypoints, routes, tides, marine weather forecasts, AIS/ARPA function) with a new redesigned user interface and exciting advanced features!

Pack includes all NOAA raster and vector charts (mm3D format) + 3D data + high resolution satellite photos for the US.

TZ Navigator

The perfect fit for recreational sailing and motor boat users!
TZ Navigator software is sold as a package with one chart zone* to be selected from a large variety of electronic marine charts. The price vary according to the size of the chart: Wide or Mega Wide.
Designed for sailboats and motor boats cruising, TZ Navigator fully meets all needs for safe navigation through all TIMEZERO main features: GPS positioning, marine weather forecast service, free worldwide tide database and management of Routes and Waypoints.
TZ Navigator includes a powerful and extremely realistic chart engine. Marine cartography, 3D data and satellite images are combined to give you the best information. Simultaneously visualize where you are and your entire journey with the utmost precision to better anticipate your way.
TIMEZERO software enables the download and display of weather forecast in standard grib format directly through the Weather Wizard. This weather tool is completely free and easy to use, giving you unlimited access to worldwide weather forecast 24 hours a day. Select a geographic coverage, data type, period of time and choose how to receive the file. TIMEZERO can provide up to 16 days of weather forecasts!
In the US, TZ Navigator software can be purchased alone with free NOAA US raster and vector high resolution charts covering the entire US Coast, including Alaska, Hawaii, Pacific Islands and Great Lakes.

TZ Navigator v3, one step beyond!
Our redesigned user interface will make your life much easier when it comes to route planning and all the features you are familiar with. All the concepts which made TIMEZERO a huge success (Tool Bar, Ribbon and Navdata) are now included in an enhanced User Interface fully adapted to be used on touch screens!
Our New Route Planning Wizard now allows you to compute departure time according to various conditions (Tides, Currents, and Transit Time, etc.). Arrive at high tide or leave the harbor with optimal currents conditions has never been this easy!

Your safety matters!
TZ Navigator comes with a suite of new features that will dramatically increase your safety onboard.
Route Planning is of the utmost importance for every boater. Our new technology assures the security of a route upon creation: Through color codes (green/red) it is instantaneously possible to know if the depth is sufficient for the safe passing of your boat.
The new security cone is a feature in adherence with the official rules of the IMO. It takes into account the information of vector charts in order to detect isolated dangers and shallow areas. If an obstacle is detected inside this cone in front of the boat’s trajectory, an anti-grounding alarm will automatically be triggered.
In addition, our new Odometer NavData will automatically display your trip information including Duration, Distance, Max Speed and Average speed.
With so many great new features, TZ Navigator is the perfect fit for recreational sailing and motor boat users. TZ Navigator is the next great product among many that has made our company successful the past 30 years!

Never stop improving your navigation system!
