I had spent some time away from my Karoo, because it couldn't maintain a connection to my power meter, I had constant dropouts. I now have a Karoo 2 on the way and I really hope to see it not have the same dropouts. If it doesn't, the K2 will probably displace my Edge 530. But I was really surprised to see only minor improvements to the layouts of data screens.

I would recommend that you add more layouts (not replace the existing ones). Take a look and copy what your competitors do. My Edge 530 uses its real estate more efficiently. Here is an example of a data screen from a Pioneer CA600:

 

Really great layout. The CA600 is hard to come by these days, but it had amazing layouts. You should buy one and just straight up copy them, you'll save yourselves a lot of time! :D

  Agreed. An editor with options to customise the layout an size of fields would be awesome. This would take the Hammerhead display from good to great. 

  Add onto that the ability to share layouts with other users and you have an awesome eco system for the display.

  TO ALL who want to support this request: Pls focus your votes on this request: https://support.hammerhead.io/hc/en-us/community/posts/1260803144990-Use-the-Space-How-it-is-vs-how-it-could-be-
  
  Otherwise votes are diluted over many different low-vote requests, however they all target the same big issue with the Karoo software: Waste of space and missing flexibility for data fields formatting / screen real estate economy... The link takes you to the top-rated request regarding this weakness, so let's combine all our votes on this one to finally make the dev team moving - after TWO years of ignoring us...
  
  Thank you! :-)
