We just wanted to let you know we have fresh new Jeppesen vector charts for the Rest of the World. Please consult the list to see which charts are involved.
Below you can see examples of changes made to some of the more popular areas. Keep in mind that each chart title can be clicked on to see its coverage!
TZ Navigator v3 is the latest TIMEZERO recreational product and it’s jam-packed with new features for both powerboats and sailing boats.
But why is it worth upgrading you ask? Just watch the video below to see how TZ Navigator v3 will make your downtime more relaxed and enjoyable than ever.
User Interface, Security Cone and Safety Route Planning will completely change the way you do marine navigation. The same great features you love are still there too. Download the release bulletin and dive into the specifics.
Don’t wait a second longer, upgrade today!
*Tax included in price
TZ Navigator v3 is officially compatible with Windows® 7 SP1, Windows® 8.1 and Windows® 1
We just wanted to let you know we have fresh new Jeppesen vector charts that cover Europe available from 10th May 2016. Below you can see examples of changes made to the areas.

La sortie de TZ Navigator v3 est officiellement fixée pour le 19 mai 2016 !
Voici une vidéo de toutes les nouvelles fonctionnalités :
Interface utilisateur
Nous avons repensé notre Interface utilisateur, afin de simplifier la gestion des routes et toutes les fonctionnalités qui vous sont familières (marées, courants, prévisions météo, etc.). Tous les concepts qui ont fait l’immense succès de TIMEZERO (Barre d’outils, calques, NavData, etc.) sont désormais intégrés à une Interface utilisateur améliorée et totalement adaptée à l’utilisation sur écrans tactiles !
Cône de sécurité
Le nouveau Cône de sécurité est une fonction conçue conformément aux règles officielles de l’OMI. Il prend en compte les informations des cartes vectorielles ou les données 3D, afin de détecter les dangers isolés et les zones peu profondes. Si un obstacle est détecté à l’intérieur de ce cône placé à l’avant du bateau, une alarme anti-échouage se déclenchera automatiquement.
Gestion avancée des routes
La Gestion avancée des routes est primordiale pour tout plaisancier. Notre nouvelle technologie permettra d’assurer la sécurité d’une route lors de sa création : un affichage de couleur (vert/rouge) permettra de savoir instantanément si la profondeur est suffisante au passage du bateau.
Important : Avec le lancement de TZ Navigator v3, nous allons mettre un terme au support des versions 1.9.8 et antérieures. Nous continuerons cependant à supporter les versions 2 sur tous les systèmes d’exploitation compatibles jusqu’à fin 2016 (Windows XP, 7 and 8.1).
We just wanted to let you know we have fresh new Jeppesen vector charts that cover both North and South America. Below you can see examples of changes made to the areas in each of the charts.
Keep in mind that each chart reference title can be clicked on to see their coverage!
Our redesigned user interface will make your life much easier when it comes to route planning and all the features you are familiar with (Tides, Currents, Weather Forecast, etc.). All the concepts which made TIMEZERO a huge success (Tool Bar, Layers and Navdata) are now included in an enhanced User Interface fully adapted to be used on touch screens!
Security Cone
The new Security Cone is a feature in adherence with the official rules of the IMO. It uses the data in vector charts or the 3D data within the charts to detect shallow areas and isolated dangers. If an obstacle is detected inside this cone in front of the boat’s trajectory, an anti-grounding alarm will automatically be triggered.
Secure Route Planning
Route Planning is of the utmost importance for every boater. Our new technology assures the security of a route upon creation. Through color codes (green/red) it is instantaneously possible to know if the depth is sufficient for the safe passing of your boat.
And more!
Note: The release of TZ Navigator will mean that we will stop supporting all TIMEZERO v1.9.8 and below. We will continue however to support v2 on all compatible operating systems until the end of 2016 (Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 8.1).
Pourquoi avoir choisi TZ Professional v3 by MaxSea ?
A vrai dire, il y a plus de 10 ans que je connais les avantages de MaxSea (version 7 à l’époque). J’étudiais mes dérives à la maison sur les cartes Raster précises. Je ne l’utilisais pas en mer et j’ai toujours rêvé de personnaliser mes cartes en fonction de ce que voit le sondeur grâce à la bathymétrie. Il y a 2 ans, j’ai voulu passer un cap et j’ai embarqué sur mon semi-rigide, une version moderne de MaxSea TIMEZERO couplée avec un combiné Garmin GPSMAP et une sonde CHIRP. J’ai alors capturé un bar de 8,6 kg homologué record du monde.
Once again the young group of Frenchies sailing around the world have come up with another fun episode, this time visiting the far removed Papua New Guinea. They stop at a remote inhabited island to get greeted by smiling faces in a place where a stranger is welcomed like a family member. The team help out the local islanders as best they can fixing up solar panel electronics and with basic medicines.

About Eco Sailing Project
The aim of their voyage is to be the first to sail around the world using only electric power and sails. To prove that it is possible will hopefully lead to more people adopting the practice but more importantly their mission will raise awareness about the fragility of our oceans and how we should all look to move towards sustainable energy solutions.
Scientists have recently mapped the genetic code of an octopus, Octopus bimaculoides. The study found that the common octopus has over 33,000 protein coding genes (we mere humans only have 20,000 protein coding genes). The study also noted octopuses as having a DNA that is highly rearranged.
This small, ghostly-white octopus was found in the deep sea at a depth of 2.5 miles off Hawaii and has been likened to the beloved cartoon character, Casper
US researcher Dr Clifton Ragsdale, University of Chicago stated, “The octopus appears to be utterly different from all other animals, even from other molluscs with its eight prehensile arms, its large brain and its clever problem-solving abilities.”
Of the gene groups mapped, octopuses were found to have 168 of the protocadherins genes which regulate the development of neurons and the short-range interactions between them. That’s more than twice as many as mammals. Maybe just one explanation to their large brain and the “organ’s even-stranger anatomy”.
Two-thirds of the octupus’s half a billion neurones spill out from its head through its arms, without needing long-range fibres such as those in vertebrate spinal cords.
The ability of their “arms” to act independently, even when seperated from the rest of the body has made them an interesting study for neuobiologists and roboticists to make soft, flexible robots.
“The late British zoologist Martin Wells said the Octopus is an alien. In this sense, then, our paper describes the first sequenced genome from an alien,” Dr Clifton Ragsdale.
