Nobeltec TZ V2.1.2 This update is a minor release that adds various features, improvements and bug corrections.

Please note that this version will be the final version of Trident and Catch compatible with Windows XP.

Future version of TimeZero will only be compatible with Windows 7, Windows 8 and future version of

Microsoft Windows as they become available.

New Features: - Catch: Possibility to import Marks, Tracks, Lines and 3D user data from ECC Globe.

Marks, Tracks and Lines can be imported directly from the ECC Globe database files usually

located in “C:\GLOBE\”:

3D User Data needs to be exported under the “PSV” format from ECC Globe before you can

import it in TimeZero:

- Catch: Compatibility with the NMEA0183 “RSD” sentence allowing to display a radar cursor on

the chart. This is useful to geo-reference the cursor of the standalone radar in TimeZero.

Simply connect the standalone Radar (with RSD output) to TimeZero, configure the Connection

Wizard and activate the “Radar Cursor” from the “Mode” button located in the ribbon.

- Catch: Possibility to import PTZ2 files directly in TimeZero v2.1. PTZ2 files are 3D files that were

used in previous version of TimeZero (v2.0) and below.

- Odyssey/Trident/Catch: Possibility to change the plotter background color when no chart is

selected from the “Chart” button in the Ribbon. The background color can be selected from the

“Plotter Display” Options:

This feature can be useful when you want to focus on a layer of information that is not on the

chart. In the example below, the background has been set to black allowing the Custom Contour

Lines to appear clearly on the screen:

- Odyssey/Trident/Catch: New option to remove currents computation on the active route (ETA,

Speed, HTS…). This can be useful when you don’t want any currents to be taken into account in

any of the Route NavData and list information. This option can be adjusted from the “Routes”

Option under “Use Currents in Active Route”.

- Odyssey/Trident/Catch: New Online AIS MarineTraffic integration providing more reliable and

faster refresh time. Please note that a MarineTraffic account is required in order to activate this

feature in TimeZero:

After creating the account on MarineTraffic.com, you will be able to generate an Activation Key

that you can enter in TimeZero to start receiving the MarineTraffic Terrestrial-AIS data:

The free Activation Key will allows you to display AIS Position, MMSI, COG, SOG and last

received position. TimeZero users will be able to subscribe to a premium service directly on the

MarineTraffic.com website to receive even more detailed information (Name, Size, Destination,

ETA, Picture and more!). Watch out for our next Newsletter that will give more information

about this new service.

Improvements: - Catch: A new 3D “Bathy Exaggeration” factor is now available in the Navigation and Planning

WorkSpace. This allows customers to increase the overall 3D Bathy Auto Exaggeration in areas

that have small slopes:

- Catch: The 3D data import speed has been improved (3 to 4 times faster compared with

previous version)

- Catch: The PBG databases are more robust against unexpected computer power shutdown and

crashes.

- Catch: Overall PBG performance increase and stabilization allowing TimeZero to run faster on

slower computers.

- Catch: The PBG brush size can now be adjusted up to 2000 meters, allowing to interpolate user

3D data on wider areas.

- Trident/Catch: (with Furuno Sounder Plus Pack): Compatibility with two new transducers for the

DFF1-UHD (B275LHW & CM275LHW).

Note: Requires DFF1-UHD firmware upgrade.

- Odyssey/Trident/Catch: Better compatibility with ONF file import coming from old version of

NNS.

- Odyssey/Trident/Catch: A progress bar is now displayed when exporting data.

Bug Fixes: - Catch: Fixed a problem that could prevent to activate and record PBG when connected to a

NavNet network or when “Connect to the Internet” was set to “Never” (from the “General”

Options).

- Catch: Fixed a hang that could happen when importing multiple large MaxSea Classic PTF files

(memory error).

- Catch: Fixed a problem that prevented the Terrain Shading to not display properly on the chart

when “3D Chart Database” was the only database checked from the PBG button in the Ribbon

(when “Imported” and “PBG” databases were set to OFF).

- Catch: Fixed a problem that could prevent PBG and 3D to be displayed properly on some XP

computer with specific video card.

- Catch: Fixed a problem that could prevent TZD files exported from previous version of Trident or

Odyssey to be displayed properly in Catch.

- Trident/Catch: Fixed a problem that was causing tooltips to not be displayed on the second

screen (when “Dual Monitor” is enabled from the “General” Options).

- Trident/Catch: (with Insight Radar Plus Pack): Koden sector blanking has been fixed and is now

working properly.

- Trident/Catch: Fixed an issue with the POSREPORT (Fleet Tracking) format that was not “culture

dependent” (POSREPORT files generated under OS setup with different languages were not

compatible with each other)

- Odyssey/Trident/Catch: Fixed a problem that caused the Connection Wizard to fails with some

NMEA2000 AIS PGN (with newer version of the PGN).

- Odyssey/Trident/Catch: Tooltip are now displayed on Fishing Charts.

- Odyssey/Trident/Catch: Fixed an issue that could cause the “Center ON” button to disappear

after upgrading TimeZero from an older version (the Toolbar will reset to its default settings

when upgrading to this new version)

- Odyssey/Trident/Catch: Fixed a crash at startup that would occur when the format (under

Regions and Language control panel) was set to a language that uses different characters in

upper and lower case (ex: Turkish language).

- Odyssey/Trident/Catch: Fixed a problem that could prevent user to recall or split a track (under

specific conditions).

- Odyssey/Trident/Catch: Fixed a problem that could cause the Chart Object “Magnetic

Variation” to not display proper value in the tooltip:

- Odyssey: Fixed a problem that could cause a crash at startup when customer was upgrading

from an old version of Odyssey and when the Route and Waypoint database contained

corrupted objects.
