The just released Furuno software update for the NavNet3D system adds several new features, improves a few others, and fixes one known issue. Software version 2.05 contains files to update the 12-inch and 8-inch MFDs, black box MFD, radar, and both black box sounders, DFF1 and DFF3. Any of these marine electronics products that are on your network will update automatically from the master MFD as it updates. To perform the update you’ll need to be able to access the Furuno website, unzip files, and transfer those files to an SD card. Once you have the appropriate files on the SD card it is just a matter of following some simple instructions and clicking a few boxes. New Features, Improvements, and Fixes • Compatibility with Jeppesen C-MAP chart data. • Improved vector chart rendering with more contrast, better object representation, and thinner line drawing.

• A number of vector chart color schemes are no available. • You can configure the chart, with one of six settings from 0 to 30 feet, to display depth soundings in red for shallow areas. • Data boxes opacity is now configurable.

• The data refresh rate for certain autopilot related NMEA 0183 sentences has been increased. • The world base map is now available in “Fishing Mode”. • A fault in the NMEA N2K data stream output has been fixed. One minor item, only found in a few out of several thousand units in service, that is not addressed in this Furuno software update. The MFD8 or MFD12 may freeze if the tide or current overlay is left on for extended periods of time. We are talking anywhere from 12 hours to three days here. If this happens, all you need to do is power down and restart.
