Distance to start in meters
Hi.
Does anyone know if it is possible to get distance to start line to switch from boat lengths to meters while in a start procedure?
A usage example could be that you use boat lengths until the last 1 min and it switches to meters to get a more precise number.
Cheers!

Re: Distance to start in meters
This is something I wished for before.
Same thing, when measuring distance with rulers on the chart, at some point it could change over to meters. Like under 2 BL. This might sound stupid but we were actually trying to analyze a turn (before an incident) to see how big our turn radius was. I know that the GPS might not be good enough for this.
