NEW high resolution AK bathy charts for TZ Pro v4!

FREE update of 3D High Resolution Bathymetry data for Alaska TimeZero Professional systems!

Nobeltec has announced the release of the New High Resolution 3D Charts for TZ Professional users on the West Coast and Alaska (in selected areas). These new data sets cover SE Alaska through the Aleutian chain, including Prince William Sound.

The 3D data is used with Nobeltec TimeZero Professional to represent bottom bathymetry in both 2D and 3D display modes. The new High Resolution data set greatly enhances bottom detail, down to 2m in some areas. In addition, user generated PBG (Personal Bathymetry Generator) data further enhances detail for any areas where the boat has recorded bottom information. Furuno sounder equipment integrates with TZ systems allowing for full display and control.

This new data is FREE for existing TimeZero installations, provided they are running TZ Professional with the PBG Module v4.0 and newer.

Here is an example of a popular area near Whittier, AK, showing the progression of detail available, revealing structure details not seen from standard issue charts.
