I've read previous threads on charts, but they are either old (pre-Navionics issues) or related to USA charts.
I am interested in chart options/procedures for system in Canada (to be purchased IN Canada)
On the verge of purchasing...
Thanks for bearing with me.

- Are any charts preinstalled/free on TZT3 purchased in Canada?
- Which charts are available for British Columbia? I see C-Map... Are there Timezero (TZMAPS?) charts? The charts on "My Timezero" cloud account are definitely better than current C-Map. Are these timezero vector/raster charts available for TZT3? READING LIMITED INFO ON TZT3 LITERATURE, IT SEEMS ONLY MAPMEDIA (Timezero) CHARTS WORK.
- Does the mapmedia/timezero chart purchase for West Coast Canada include both vector and raster charts? (The timezero store seems to suggest "yes", but it is ambiguous. Charts on mycloud.timezero include raster where vector is missing.)
- If I purchase a new Furuno TZT3, can I purchase mapmedia chart packs WITHOUT purchasing expensive/not-needed Timezero software. (Trying out a 1st-time online purchase of the mapmedia charts currently automatically adds timezero software.)
- Are charts purchased updatable for free for a period of time? (It seems 12 months updates.)
- IMPORTANTLY: Do charts purchased "expire"? That is, is a regular subscription required to keep charts working (even if not updateable)?
- Finally, I have a recently purchased C-MAP microSD chart card I'm using in my old Furuno chartplotter. Can it be used in the TZT3? (I know, it is not up to date, but frankly, neither are "up-to-date" CMAP cards!) [Seems it will not work. Please confirm.]
