However, to go with NN3d and MSTZ Explorer you would need to sell your existing MFD’s and radar and buy all new. Time Zero is in a whole different league from other navigation software. On my current Grady I have the NN3D with MSTZ Explorer and it also works great. I had that exact system on my previous Grady and it worked great.
MAXSEA NAVNET PC SOFTWARE
It’s still great software but is not Time Zero. That software isn’t cheap, I believe it sells for over $1200 these days.
MAXSEA NAVNET PC PC
If you want to keep all your current equipment and add bathy data you could do that by purchasing MaxSea Commander Navnet System with the bathy module and that would work great on a PC with your existing system. But like Andy said above you won’t be able to do radar overlay with MSTZ Explorer. The system you have right now is a really good system. I live and boat in the Puget Sound and own a Grady as well. But find it hard to believe that it would also interfere with heading data over the network etc. I can understand that my graphics card may be interfering with displaying radar etc. All I can get over the network is position data. No I cannot sync waypoints and routes with MFD. MXTZ doesn’t see the heading data so it obviously won’t steer to a waypoint. The MFD receives heading data and can steer the autopilot to a waypoint. The autopilot is a TR-1 Gladiator (now called Garmin GHP 10). MSTZ doesn’t detect radar or a heading source when I run the connection wizard. So anything coming over the network is coming from my MFD. The only data that my laptop could be receiving is over the ethernet cable as I have nothing else but power hooked to the laptop. I also have the latest software version on the MFD. So you’re saying that the graphics card alone could cause my laptop to not see the NN3D network, radar and not display the options such as radar, MXTZ chart server etc? It says the graphics card isn’t compatible. It’s a marine grade laptop that I bought in 07. I do have an Intel graphics card in the laptop. What is the brand of the autopilot and what is the interface to the pilot (183 or N2K?)? What aspect of “won’t drive…” is a problem? Does the AP not receive waypoint, XTE, etc? I’m fairly certain that your AP would need an independent connection from you computer to the AP to receive that data from MSTZ.Ĥ) Can you “sync” waypoints and routes with the MFD?Īndy, well I ran the Compatibility Advisor and it says my laptop isn’t compatible. Look at the Connection Wizard and check the data sources dialog to confirm where MSTZ is getting the data.Ģa) You won’t get the radar panel unless MSTZ has detected the presence of radar via the Connection Wizard when you set it up.ģ) Autopilot. The most recent is 1.8.1, but is has some bugs with regard to the MFD data sharing.Ģ) Are you certain you have no other sources of position data? For example there are no 183 devices also connected to your computer that might have been detected by MSTZ. Jeff, here are a few things to look into:ġ) What does the About box say under the MSTZ menu? It will confirm the product name (Navigator or Explorer), version, and what modules are enabled. Forget how Gizmo is laid out? Well, then I have a good excuse to put up another picture of her loveliness, taken at 4:30 this afternoon. All the MFDs on board can display its output, which is useful for monitoring the blind spot aft I normally have from the flying bridge. In fact, there’s an awesome 40′ Predator tied up behind me, as you can see on the MFD12 screen, thanks to a Raymarine Cam100 mounted under the extended cabin roof. Now, and neither the charts nor photo maps have caught up. And don’t presume the GPS is off because Gizmo seems to be ashore…Ī couple of years ago, Wayfarer Marine did a lot of dredging to create the slip I’m mooching right The photo above is also another testament to the DRSD2’s close range resolution not far beyond my bow you can see the two boats on floats and shrink-wrapped schooners that are being cleanly targeted. My first impression is that TZ charting and radar run beautifully, and with amazing responsiveness even though the laptop barely meets the suggested minimum specs. It took Furuno and MaxSea quite a while to actually ship Time Zero software in the U.S., and it took me a while to clear enough disk space to load it on that oldish HP laptop, but the long wait did not end in disappointment.
