FURUNO TZMAP13: Stand-Alone MFD, Revolutionary Navigation and Fish Detection on Board

The Furuno TZMAP13 is a high-performance 13" stand-alone multifunction display designed for advanced navigation, fish detection and selected radar integration from one compact helm screen. It brings together TZ MAPS charting, Full HD multi-touch control, built-in TruEcho CHIRP fish finder, CHIRP Side-Scan, GNSS positioning and Furuno radar compatibility in one powerful display.

For smaller boats, fishing setups, trailerable boats, compact yachts and single-station helms, the TZMAP13 creates a sharper and cleaner command point. Charts, sonar, Side-Scan, waypoints, routes, radar data and onboard information can be managed from one responsive Furuno screen, reducing clutter and giving the skipper faster access to the information that matters.

Key Features of the Furuno TZMAP13

• Display: 12.8" all-glass multi-touch IPS screen with Full HD resolution, 1920 x 1080 pixels, and split-screen capability with up to 4 windows. The TZMAP13 is a stand-alone MFD, not a multi-MFD network display.
• Built-in sonar: internal TruEcho CHIRP/CW fish finder with support for 300 W, 600 W or 1 kW setups depending on the transducer, plus CHIRP Side-Scan at 230/455 kHz for depth, structure and side-view imaging.
• Chart support: full integration with TZ MAPS and compatible chart options, including features such as BathyVision and AI Routing when supported by the selected chart region and unlocked data.
• Radar and data integration: compatible with selected Furuno radar sensors such as DRS2D-NXT and DRS4D-NXT, plus onboard data via NMEA 2000, NMEA 0183 and Wireless LAN.
• Robust marine design: waterproof construction for marine use, with IPX7 protection according to the supplied product information.
• Expansion and data management: connection options for sensors, radar and onboard data sources. The USB Type-C port is used for importing and exporting data such as software updates and user information.

Advanced Furuno Navigation in One Stand-Alone Display

The TZMAP13 is built for boats where one strong display is the most efficient solution. It works as a stand-alone MFD, giving the helm a clean, powerful control point for navigation, sonar, Side-Scan, selected radar data and onboard information.

Its operating logic follows Furuno’s modern touch-display experience, with edge-swipe operation, intuitive gestures and split-screen layouts. The result is a fast, premium interface where the skipper can zoom charts, switch views, mark waypoints and organise navigation information from one compact screen, without building a larger multi-display system. 

This makes the TZMAP13 especially relevant for:

• Sailing yachts and motor yachts that need one compact Furuno chartplotter instead of a larger multi-display system
• Compact helms where dashboard space is limited but the skipper still wants reliable charting, sonar and navigation control
• Boat owners entering the Furuno chartplotter line-up with a stand-alone MFD that keeps the system simple and easy to manage
• Single-station setups where one screen is enough for charts, fish finder, Side-Scan, selected radar data and onboard information
• Fishing boats and cruising boats that want a compact display with stronger navigation and fish detection capability than a basic chartplotter

TZ MAPS for Smarter Route Planning and Richer Chart Detail

The TZMAP13 uses TZ MAPS, Furuno and TIMEZERO’s advanced chart platform, to give the skipper a more visual and data-rich navigation environment. For coastal cruising, marina approaches, channels, shallow areas and fishing grounds, this makes the display more useful than a simple plotting screen.

Depending on the selected chart region and unlocked chart data, TZ MAPS can support official hydrographic chart data, BathyVision bathymetry, satellite imagery, terrain and depth shading, community edits, user-created chart objects and AI Routing.

AI Routing can create a point-to-point route using chart data, vessel draft and selected safety parameters. It helps reduce planning time, while the final route check remains under the skipper’s control.

Built-In TruEcho CHIRP Fish Finder and CHIRP Side-Scan

The TZMAP13 is a strong choice for fishing because the fish finder is built into the display. It supports TruEcho CHIRP or CW fish finder operation with 300 W, 600 W or 1 kW output depending on the connected compatible Furuno transducer.

Traditional sonar helps show depth, bottom profile and fish targets below the hull, while CHIRP Side-Scan helps reveal structure, objects and fish targets to port and starboard. For anglers working wrecks, channels, drop-offs, seabed contours or structure, this gives a much clearer way to read the water before deciding where to fish.

Important sonar capabilities include:

• CW frequency support: 50/200 kHz
• CHIRP range: 40 to 240 kHz
• Side-Scan frequencies: 230 kHz or 455 kHz, depending on transducer
• Fish finder output: 300 W, 600 W or 1 kW, depending on setup
• Side-Scan display range: up to 750 feet to each side
• Fishing functions: ACCU-FISH, Bottom Discrimination, A-Scope, Bottom Zoom and Bottom Lock, depending on compatible transducer and setup

The transducer choice is critical. A well-matched Furuno or Airmar transducer can make a major difference in target separation, bottom reading and Side-Scan performance.

Radar, Autopilot and Connected Onboard Data

The TZMAP13 can connect with selected onboard systems to create a more capable single-screen navigation station. Compatible Furuno radar options include DRS2D-NXT and DRS4D-NXT, with radar adding stronger situational awareness for night navigation, poor visibility, rain, busy waterways and coastline monitoring.

For radar overlay and stable radar presentation, suitable heading data should be planned correctly as part of the system.

The TZMAP13 can also work with:

• NMEA 2000 data
• NMEA 0183 output via the power/data cable
• AIS data over NMEA 2000
• Engine, tank and fuel data through compatible NMEA 2000 gateways
• NAVpilot-300 and NAVpilot-711C autopilot control via NMEA 2000
• Wireless LAN for connected services such as TZ Weather
• My TimeZero Cloud for saving and synchronising user data

Fleet Tracking and Connected TZ Features

With Furuno’s myTimeZero Cloud, user data can be saved and synchronised, helping keep routes, points and selected navigation information more accessible across compatible TZ environments.

One standout feature is fleet tracking when both vessels use TZtouch E or TZMAP and are connected to the internet through myTimeZero Cloud. This can allow a mothership to monitor a tender or dinghy’s position, speed, depth and other available information.

This is useful when sending a dinghy ahead to check depth in unfamiliar water, monitoring tender movement during excursions or keeping connected navigation information available between compatible Furuno displays.

Compatibility Details That Matter Before Ordering

Before choosing the TZMAP13, check the details that directly affect installation and performance:

• Use TZMAP13 as a stand-alone display. TZMAP units are designed as stand-alone MFDs and are not intended to operate as networked multi-MFD displays.
• Choose a compatible radar sensor. TZMAP13 supports selected Furuno radar sensors, including DRS2D-NXT and DRS4D-NXT. Compatibility should be checked before reusing an existing radar.
• Plan heading data for radar overlay. Radar overlay and stable radar presentation require suitable heading data from compatible onboard equipment.
• Match the transducer to the fish finder setup. The internal fish finder supports specific CW, CHIRP and Side-Scan configurations. The transducer must match the desired sonar performance.
• Check supported Side-Scan combinations. Side-Scan can be used with supported sonar configurations, but not every dual-CHIRP or mixed transducer arrangement is supported.
• Confirm TZ MAPS requirements. AI Routing, BathyVision, satellite imagery and other advanced chart features depend on the selected chart region, unlocked data and available coverage.
• Use NMEA 2000 for onboard integration. AIS, engine data, tank data, sensor input and autopilot control depend on compatible NMEA 2000 equipment and gateways.
