Function Description

TIMEZERO is a professional marine navigation software widely used in various fields such as ship navigation, fisheries, sailing races, commercial shipping, and marine surveying. It provides high-precision electronic charts, weather forecasts, AIS target tracking, and radar integration features to make navigation safer, more accurate, and efficient.

1. Key Features

(1) High-precision Electronic Charts and 3D Map Display

  • Supports vector charts (S-57, S-63), raster charts (BSB, GeoTIFF), and formats like C-MAP, Navionics, etc.

  • 3D chart display mode offers more intuitive ocean terrain and depth information.

  • Real-time updates for tides, currents, and weather changes, enhancing navigation accuracy.

(2) Advanced Route Planning and Automatic Obstacle Avoidance

  • Fast route planning: Calculates optimal routes based on charts, tidal, and weather data.

  • Automatic obstacle avoidance: Combines AIS and radar data to predict collision risks and suggest safe navigational paths.

  • Navigation alarms: Set alarms for shallow waters, speed limits, and other critical alerts to improve safety.

(3) AIS Target Tracking and Radar Integration

  • Supports AIS (Automatic Identification System) target display, allowing monitoring of nearby vessels’ course, speed, and track.

  • Integrates with Furuno radar, providing real-time target information within the radar coverage, enhancing navigation safety.

(4) Real-time Meteorological Data and Weather Forecasts

  • Downloads and displays GRIB format weather data, including wind speed, pressure, wave height, tides, etc.

  • Wind field and current forecasts, suitable for long-distance sailing and race planning.

(5) Fishing and Marine Surveying Modes

  • For fishing users, TIMEZERO provides contour line displays, seafloor terrain maps, and fish finder integration to enhance fishing efficiency.

  • Integrates with depth sounders (Echo Sounders) and side-scan sonar for hydrographic surveys and underwater terrain scanning.

(6) Multi-device Synchronization and Remote Monitoring

  • Cloud route synchronization: Syncs routes and data across different devices (PC, tablet, shipboard electronics).

  • Remote monitoring: Via Wi-Fi or satellite communication, enabling shore-based monitoring of the vessel’s position and navigation data.

2. Primary Application Areas

  • Commercial Shipping and Cargo Ship Navigation: Accurate route planning and obstacle avoidance.

  • Marine Fisheries: Combining fish finders and seafloor analysis for better fishing efficiency.

  • Sailing Races and Yacht Navigation: Weather data analysis and wind field predictions for race planning.

  • Hydrographic Surveys and Research: Integration with sonar devices for seafloor scanning and measurements.

TIMEZERO provides comprehensive navigation tools designed to enhance the safety, efficiency, and precision of maritime operations across various sectors.
