Furuno uses multi-finger gestures to operate the new TZtouch series with a 9- or 14-inch screen

For everyone who doesn't know what to do with the term multitouch: It's fingering like with the iPhone, for example zooming by moving two fingers apart or towards each other that are simultaneously on the display. Classic touchscreen operation, as has been common with plotters up to now, only works with one point of contact.

At the start of sales of Furuno's NavNet TZtouch series, there will initially only be two device sizes. However, they have been carefully selected, namely with 9-inch and 14-inch displays. There should be the right device for both small and large yachts.

All actions can be controlled on both devices using a variety of single or multi-touch gestures or the patented RotoKeyTM. Panning maps, zooming and other tasks only need a finger tip. The display reacts to touch and converts gestures such as tapping, “pinching” and turning into meaningful actions. Based on standards such as drag and drop via multi-touch gestures personalized and linked by the user, the system is overwhelmingly easy to understand.

Two free apps, the TZtouch Viewer and the TZtouch Remote App, allow the plotter to be connected to smartphones, iPodTouch and tablet computers. IPhone 3GS / 4 / 4S, iPad 1, 2 and iPodTouch 3rd and 4th generation are currently supported. Android terminals are to be added from mid-2012.

The new plotters can be integrated into the on-board wireless network via WiFi and - if a WiFi access point is within range - access the Internet to download weather forecasts or software updates directly.

All existing network sensors of the NavNet 3D from Furono can still be used for the TZtouch network. The new multi-touch devices can also be integrated into an existing NavNet 3D system. Sensors that deliver data in NMEA0183 format can be integrated via the IF-NMEA2K2 data converter.

NavNet TZtouch works with MapMedia raster maps or C-Map or Navionics vector maps.
