Cloud Synchronization (Internet)
When you are connected to the Internet, your user objects (routes, marks, catches, boundaries, and photos) can be automatically synchronized to the TZ Cloud.
Note: Trips are also synchronized to the TZ Cloud.
The three main advantages of the TZ Cloud synchronization are:
-
Automatic User Object Backup: all your user objects are automatically synchronized and backed up any time you make a modification. When you install TZ iBoat on a new device (up to 5 devices are supported under the same My TIMEZERO account), all your user objects will be automatically downloaded.
-
Remote Synchronization: if your devices are not connected to the same network (for local synchronization), your user objects can be synchronized via the Internet (TZ Cloud) even remotely. For example, you may decide to plan your navigation at home on your iPad, but then decide to only take your iPhone to the boat. All modifications that were done on the iPad at home would be synchronized on your iPhone, even if you only launch TZ iBoat on your boat (with cell service).
-
Web Viewer: You can look and make modifications to your user objects from any web browser at “cloud.mytimezero.com”. This is very useful if you want to review your navigation at home or with friends without having to use TZ iBoat.
Note: you can disable the cloud synchronization by tapping on the “TZ” button located on the top left of your screen, then tap on your account (at the very top). You will see a “Cloud Synchronization” checkbox that you can disable if you do not want TZ iBoat to synchronize your user objects with the TZ Cloud.
