Furuno has released new software for their flagship NavNet TZtouch3 Multi Function Displays (MFDs) that includes numerous features and enhancements, including CHIRP Side-Scan capability. The new 3.01 software is available for the TZT9F, TZT12F, TZT16F, and TZT19F MFDs.
 

Side-Scan allows boaters to see echoes from port and starboard, showing fish targets, crab pots, and bottom structure in extreme detail. The feature works at a lower frequency than other manufacturers' side-scan offerings, allowing boaters to see structure at distances of over 1,000 feet off to each side of their vessel. Using Furuno's CHIRP Side-Scan, fishermen can see detailed images of structure that may hold fish as well as the presence of fish targets around that structure.
 

CHIRP Side-Scan is not limited to a specific type or size of boat. This is a perfect solution whether you want to improve your fishing methods or are just looking for uncharted obstructions to avoid the risk of grounding in shallow areas while cruising.
