Furuno - NavNet 3D
Technical details
Producer: Furuno (JP)

FURUNO’s new NavNet 3D is a groundbreaking navigation system that introduces new concepts for a user interface that makes navigating your vessel easier than ever before. Once youstart using NavNet 3D, you will be amazed at how a system so powerful can be so simple to use. NavNet 3D comes fully loaded with a variety of groundbreaking, new features that will expand your navigational horizons.

The only acceptable redraw time is zero, TimeZero.
NavNet 3D uses a new cutting-edge technology we have named “TimeZero". It facilitates instant chart redraw, allowing zooming in and out, chart panning, changing chart display modes and other chart handling functions seamlessly and with no lag time. TimeZero brings you a truly seamless navigation environment you have to see to believe.

True 3D environment for a more instinctive chart presentation.
NavNet 3D incorporates a whole new dimension to chart presentation with Full Time 3D chart rendering. You can choose a 2D top-down view of the navigation chart for a look and feel that duplicates a traditional chart plotting presentation. Or, you can choose to pan and zoom the chart to any angle at any range scale you choose instantly. There is no “3D mode” to change into and no waiting, because NavNet 3D operates in this 3D environment full time. In addition, you choose what type of charts you want to view from raster, vector or combine them with FURUNO’s new Satellite PhotoFusion charts. This variety of chart presentations helps to improve your situational awareness by giving you unprecedented control over your charting environment.

NavNet 3D Cartography
NavNet 3D’s powerful graphic engine has added new chart presentation options to the conventional 2D method of chart plotting. With 3D charts and our new Satellite PhotoFusion, you can now blend satellite imagery with critical chart data like never before. These new presentation options allow you to visually identify the exact position of your vessel, together with information about the surrounding area on instinctively clear chart orientations that you control.

Navigate in True 3D with Raster, Vector and Bathymetric Charts
NavNet 3D incorporates native 3D chart architecture that allows for a full-time 3-dimensional presentation, as opposed to 2D charts that require special effects to appear 3D. There are no special modes; that limit your ability to navigate the way you want. With NavNet 3D’s true 3D environment, you can see all of the information you want with no limitations on what information you wish to view. Plan your routes and enter points directly on your raster or vector native 3D charts. Radar overlay, Sirius Network Weather Receiver, AIS, plus all of your chart symbols and depth soundings; any and all of the information can be displayed at will. This is the beauty of navigating in a true 3D. You have full control over the presentation all of the time.

3D Key
Even though your raster or vector charts are operating in their native 3D environment full-time, one long press of the 3D key will toggle the chart from a familiar 2D top-down perspective, to your favorite 3D angle.

Satellite PhotoFusion
Our satellite photography can now be fused with raster or vector chart information. Land areas (zero depth) are completely opaque, so that these areas are displayed as high-resolution satellite photos on the chart. As the depth increases, the satellite photography becomes more transparent so that you will know where the shallows end and the deeper water starts, and also allowing the raster or vector chart to be visible. High-resolution satellite photography aids in seabed classification so that you will be able to easily identify areas of sand, rock, coral or other obstructions.
