Big-Boat Tech Sized For Smaller Boats

Furuno launches TZMAP all-in-one standalone multifunction displays designed for simplicity while retaining advanced functionality like radar.

Furuno has packed an arsenal of features into a smaller MFD footprint.

Furuno is known for big-boat electronics for offshore sportfishing machines and large yachts. But what about those of us with more modest boats and compact helms? For 2026, Furuno says it has expanded its TZMAP lineup downward to deliver big-boat tech on 20- or 30-something-foot vessels.

TZMAP units now are available in 9- and 13 inches and designed for boaters who want a simplified, streamlined, standalone unit rather than a fully networked system. But these smaller units still boast sunlight-viewable multitouch displays, built-in TruEcho CHIRP fish-finding, and Furuno TZ Maps chartography compatibility.

With a free TimeZero account, waypoints and routes can be backed up and retrieved via the cloud. TZMAP9 and TZMAP12 units support radar options such as the Solid-State Doppler DRS2DNXT and DRS4DNXT. They also offer integration with the TZ iBoat App and support AI Routing to help plan smarter, safer routes.
