For almost two decades, Furuno has been a leader in marine navigation electronics, thanks in particular to its partnership with TimeZéro, a company renowned for its technological innovations. This collaboration has given rise to a brand-new version of TZ iBoat, marking an evolution in the world of marine navigation and electronic cartography. For the first time, a navigation application can display a fishfinder image directly on a smartphone.
Furuno new products and technical specifications
Furuno's new FCV600 and FCV800 fishfinders are distinguished not only by their size - 5.7 inches for the FCV600 and 8.4 inches for the FCV800 - but also by the integration of cutting-edge technologies developed by Furuno. These include TRUECHO CHIRP, ACCU-FISH, background discrimination and REZBOOST. These features guarantee precision and reliability in fish detection and discrimination of underwater structures, making these fishfinders ideal tools for demanding boaters, especially fishermen.
TZ iBoat benefits for boaters
The integration of these echo sounders into the TZ iBoat application transforms the boating experience. Boaters can now access precise information on the seabed and shoals of fish directly from their smartphone or tablet. This innovation means not only greater ease of use and accessibility, but also a revolution in the way we approach boating and fishing. Thanks to TZ iBoat, Furuno's high technology is in the palm of sailors' hands, giving them a clear and precise view of the water's depths, wherever they may be.
This technological advance is a perfect illustration of how innovation can transform sailing practices, making underwater exploration more accessible and rewarding. Furuno, with its recognized expertise in marine electronics, and TimeZéro, with its innovative approach to navigation, are together redefining yachting standards, to the great benefit of amateur and professional sailors alike.
This new compatibility is offered in the form of a TZ iBoat module at a price of ?24.99 (purchase integrated into the application). The FCV600 is sold in France for ?1,499.00 incl. VAT, while the FCV800 is priced at ?2,429.00 incl. VAT.
