1. NavNet TZtouch3 System Overview
Q1.SYS What models are in the NavNet TZtouch3 product range?
NavNet TZtouch3 MFDs are available in three models, TZT12F (Hybrid), TZT16F and the
TZT19F. All models utilize a widescreen format.
Q2.SYS How many NavNet TZtouch3 MFDs are allowed in one network?
Any combination of up to six (6) TZtouch3 and/or TZtouch2 MFDs are allowed in one network.
Or four (4) MFDs and one TZT2BB. If a Nobeltec PC is included, it is counted as one MFD in the
network.
Q3.SYS Does one NavNet TZtouch3 MFD need to be set as a Master?
Just like TZtouch and TZtouch2, TZtouch3 is a “Master-less” system in regard to network and
settings configuration, making the system fully redundant. However, one TZtouch3 MFD must
be set as the “Chart Master” so the MFD can share its System ID over the network.
Q4.SYS Which charts are pre-loaded on the 256GB Micro SD-Card in TZtouch3?
The 256GB Micro SD-Card included with each TZtouch3 MFD contains every NOAA Raster,
NOAA Vector, C-MAP Vector, and Navionics Vector chart in the entire Mapmedia Library for all
of North, Central and South America. In other words, the entire Western Hemisphere is fully
covered! This includes the C-MAP and Navionics Bahamas Vector Charts, as well as the
Bahamas Satellite Photos and the C-MAP “Explorer” Raster Bahamas Charts, Four CMOR chart
areas, along with Satellite Photos for several select areas in the USA. Only customers wishing to
access additional satellite photo areas or charts on the other side of the world will need to add
more charts to their system. Locked chart areas such as C-MAP, Navionics and CMOR will need
to be purchased from an Authorized Furuno Dealer. Once chart areas are purchased, they can
automatically be unlocked by connecting the TZtouch3 MFD to the Internet. Alternatively, the
charts can be manually unlocked by entering the chart unlock codes.
Q5.SYS Which NMEA2000 PGNs are supported by TZtouch3?
Q6.SYS Does TZtouch3 have a built-in Operator’s Manual?

could be added for control. While standard monitors can be used, it is recommended that the
monitor be tested with the TZtouch3 MFD before it is mounted to see if it is compatible.
TZtouch3 does not support proprietary drivers, such as 10-point touch features. TZtouch3
supports dual point touch only. Any touch monitor that requires a driver be loaded into the
TZtouch3 will not work. The TZtouch3 can use widescreen PC monitors that are either HDMI or
DVI compatible (with an adapter plug). Non-marine monitors are not recommended for outside
installations or in areas of high brightness. Also consider night-time viewing for installations
using non-marine grade monitors.
TZT12F HDMI output resolution is fixed at 1280 x 720, TZT16F is and TZT19F is fixed at 1920 x
1080. Note: Connected touch monitors must have the same native resolution as the TZtouch3
MFD they are connected to (16 x 9 aspect ratio) as well as have the HPD (Hot Plug Detection)
functionality.
