Nobeltec TZ Add-On Routing Module - TZ-103

This is an add-on to Nobeltec TZ Professional. A Version of TZ Pro Software is required before it can be used. This upgrade will not work as a standalone software package. The Upgrade requires the Key Code from the TZ Professional Package you currently own and your Email Address. Program Codes Delivered via Email.

Features:

• Nobeltec TZ routing algorithms are based on the isochrones' method and are simple and automated for your maximum comfort
• The Routing Module is the culmination of 25 years of software development in partnership with numerous sailing events around the world
• It has been used and tested by the best sailors, but also by thousands of boaters
• Routing according to weather, wind, waves and currents
• Isochrones with Sail Set overlay
• Alternate routing
• Routing Detail (List)
• Routing and Weather Animation Lay lines (Requires Wind Sensor Sold Separately)
• Polar workspace: to display and modify Wind and Sail Set Polar files
• Adjusting GRIB Weather files
• Routing variability calculation and display
• Navigate safely and efficiently
• Like all sailors know, the most direct route isn't always the best one
• The Routing Module now combines its revolutionary algorithm with the powerful features of the former Advanced Routing Module to make one product
• More performance in routing calculation
• The Routing module offers accuracy and flexibility for the most demanding sailing conditions making the software routing calculation easier
• It allows advanced sailors to manually control and adjust the weather file parameters in order to get more accurate results
• It also introduces the variability notion, helping the skipper to identify the particular moments in the navigation where strategy choices are critical
• With Nobeltec's Routing Module, the safety of your crew is guaranteed
• Here's the list of the Routing Module features:
  • Waves are used for routing computation along with wind and currents
  • One click comparison between several routes and animations to evaluate multiple scenarios
  • Option to pass a waypoint, leaving it Port or Starboard during multi waypoint routing computation
  • Alternative Routing
  • Routing variability calculation and display
  • Weather File Adjustment
• Its use is more intuitive and user-friendly for recreational boaters, while offering multiple setting options for experienced sailors
• Routing variability calculation and display
  • After having created a routing you can display on chart the variability
  • Variability's value allows identifying quickly important variation of wind direction and strength which require from the skipper a supplementary expertise of his forecasts, routing and sourcing files
  • The variability is equal to 100% if wind direction and strength are stable
  • It will decrease to 80% if the routing shows important variations of the wind direction and strength
  • It indicates as well the weather transition for example a ridge with a gradient decreasing of pressure thus of wind
  • Variability is symbolized in the Routing tree by a more or less strong display density (as it is shown in the picture above beside).
    • Areas colored in Black indicate weather transitions
    • A very dense black corresponds to a variability < 70% and it is thus necessary to cross it in the shortest after an analysis more refined and recalculating a new routing before changing criteria as well as modifying parameters and files sources
    • Light areas show the "Corridors" where weather conditions are more stable depending to forecasts
    • The ability to overlay both together variability and Sail set allows you to clearly view each transition of different ways (as ridge) across the routing
    • The Variability value is indicated in each line of the Routing calculation
