New partnership between the SNSM and MaxSea International

We are proud to announce you the new partnership between MaxSea, leading company on the navigation software market, and SNSM, a French non-profit organization working for our maritime security.

SNSM and MaxSea International Partnership

The SNSM and MaxSea International share the same values regarding sensitization, prevention and maritime security for cruisers and professional sailors.

Together with SNSM since 2005, MaxSea expects with this partnership to contribute to the SNSM‘s overall development, its crew members training and the equipment of its motorboats for sea rescue.

MaxSea will also provide a MaxSea TimeZero ECS SNSM pack at an attractive rate for the new and already running motorboats, in addition to the tools and data made available at their training facilities in Saint Nazaire.

SNSM logoThis partnership will allow the SNSM to display and benefit from a whole new generation of navigation and sea rescue tools with specific features developed by MaxSea, such as SAR official patterns or the integration and control of high-tech thermal research cameras (such as FLIR) for sea rescue operations from TimeZero.

Out of concern for efficiency and professionalism, the SNSM will train all its crew members to use this new generation of tools at their training center and with the help of the sailing simulator based in Saint Nazaire, which already runs several versions of MaxSea TimeZero ECS SNSM.

MaxSea TimeZero ECS SNSM is now recommended for the entire SNSM fleet (all-weather lifeboats, V1, V2, V1NG, V2NG ships)as the chosen navigation software by the SNSM to train its volunteers and fulfill its mission.

MaxSea High Resolution Tidal Currents on sale

According to NOAA’s National Ocean Service, a tidal current is an oceanic current produced by the rise and fall of the tides, driven by the gravitational attraction of the sun and moon on Earth’s oceans.

Tidal Currents in the Gironde Estuary - France
MaxSea Tidal Currents in the Gironde Estuary

Tides create a current in the oceans, near the shore, in bays and estuaries along the coast, and are the only type of currents that change in a very regular pattern that can be predicted several days ahead. In bays and harbors, the impact of tidal currents can be crucial, slowing or stopping boats.

Software update: MaxSea TimeZero Navigator & Explorer v1.9.8

We are pleased to announce a new free update for our MaxSea TimeZero Software. MaxSea TimeZero v1.9.8 (Navigator and Explorer versions) includes several bug corrections and new features such as:

  • Route planning function improvement: TimeZero is the only software that takes tidal current into account in the Route Detail list. With the new feature, the leg of a route is highlighted when the currents are too strong.
  • Routing new features: Also, this version introduces the possibility to re-launch a second routing from the same departure, a feature that can be very useful if you want to change some of the routing parameters while keeping the same start and end position.
  • NavNet TZtouch compatibility: With this version of MaxSea TimeZero you will be able to exchange Routes & Waypoints through SD Card, share nautical charts and navigation data from the TZtouch network.

Relaunch of a second routing feature - MaxSea TimeZero v1.9.8

Strong Currents Highlighting Leg Feature - MaxSea TimeZero v1.9.8

Please refer to this MaxSea TimeZero v1.9.8 PDF for a complete description of the new features.
