I am trying to show the Start Line Display in the Race Panel.
The Start Line Display shows the configured start line in scale with your boat, allowing you to clearly see distance to line and your position relative to the laylines.
I have not been able to complete this step.
Is there anyone who can help me?

Fellow racers,
Please look at my BandG post.
Am I the only one using these instruments?

Would love to help, but I am old school. All I have is wool telltales and do a quick calculation based on my estimated speed.
5 knots is 2.5 metres per second (each knot is 0.5 m/s) so 5 boat lengths (9.45 metres) is about 20 seconds to the line.

Sadly don't have a boat nice enough for it, but do these videos help?

I am running the same B&G system on my boat but I have not had much of a play with start lines. When I get back from being away in the caravan I might go out and have a play with it.

I found the answer to my problem.
The Race Line Display is shown in the Chartplotter.
You then create a split screen to show both the Race Panel and the Chartplotter.

Thanks to all those who offered me a helping hand.
