This app is easy to use with great route planning, weather and tide info on a single display. The choice of raster or vector charts which can be combined with satellite images provides all the information you need to navigate safely.
I used to run inavx and was moderately happy with it until they dropped charts for most of the Caribbean. I tried a bunch of other apps that turned out to be awful, then a friend who was a ships captain told me he used TZ even though his ships had a full set of ships equipment including ECDIS. TZ is more intuitive than any other App I have tried and faster to set up routes. The other bits that make it stand out are as follows: 1) 3d view and ability to change instantly from heads up/ to north up and between 3d and normal view. Makes identifying headlands really easy 2) Anchorage wave forecasts - give you a quick idea of which anchorages will be ok given forecast weather 3) Ships log feature which records and outputs data at regular intervals along the route. 4) Massive choice of styles including sat view overlays. 5) Price. Even if you ignore the features above, it is price competitive. All considered I think it’s best value and best features 6) User support. Very responsive and really want input and suggestions for improvement.
Awesome app, much more of a professional quality navigation program than the competitors. Lots of features in a streamlined interface. My only want is a larger chart portfolio. Some areas of the world are unavailable in the TZ charts.

I have had limited experience with the app but a big feature that is missing is auto routing which is available and works so well on other platforms. It’s not intuitive and even when looking at buying additional functionality/ modules it doesn’t clearly tell you what you are getting, if it’s a one time purchase or annual subscription etc. This App has a lot of potential but needs serious work before it will be my primary navigation tool.

They advertise raster charts for Great Lakes but there is a lot of information missing on the Canadian side. C-Map or Navionics apps have proper data.
Do you only good thing about the product currently is the price of the charts subscription. my biggest pet peeve with this program is importing waypoints and routes. When importing waypoints TZ creates an additional waypoint on top and gives it a number. When you move the way point you now got to move two of them. Adding to the annoyance is that the created (numbered) waypoint lays on top of the one you created (and named) and becomes unreadible. As a Pro Mariner (Tug/Barge between Vancouver, West Coast upto Alaska) . we are frequently faced with routing issues and require many waypoints to be moved.. TZ has made this impractical and very annoying. If we create a voyage plan in TZ and export it (.gpx) also shows numbered waypoints on top of named, so now your stuck with twice as much waypoints. Unacceptabel TZ! Not renewing, not reccomending untill you fix this.
TZ is my main navigation app. Quite easy to use, but really customizable to your needs. The only reason why I still use other apps and why I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is that there is no kind of “user community” feature that other apps have that allow users to put marker to indicate good anchoring spot with review, or danger, rating of marinas, tips about some areas etc.
