Furuno MaxSea Time Zero...

As many of you know we have a computer onboard Icon and that we use B&G Deckman and Nobeltec Admiral for navigation.  While these two products have their own merits, unfortunately they are not integrated with our Furuno NavNet 3D glass helm at each wheel station - as a result the navigator down below does not have access to real-time radar, sounder, route information and AIS targets.

In talking with Furuno they decided to let us test the new MaxSea TimeZero for use with our NavNet 3D glass helm.  Icon will be the very first North American vessel to use this system and will be reporting on our progress with the system during the van Isle 360 (June 6-20).

Stay tuned...
