Feature Request: Weather, Extensions, API Documentation, Phone Pairing Syncing
Hi,
this probably gets asked a lot, but I want to request a few things that I'm missing:
In-Ride Weather Forecast, Windspeed, Direction
Weather out here doesn't get too rough, usually, but I do decisions based on wind speed and direction for long rides out (mostly going against the wind in the first half and with it the other half)
In-Ride Extensions
I do know that the Android platform doesn't offer many hooks to let an application extended - that said, I really wish I could extend some of the data fields and graphs to my likings. Garmin does it even on watches, why shouldn't it be possible to do it on the Karoo.
API Docs
Since the dashboard (and the head unit) use a REST API, it's relatively trivial to access it outside of the browser. It would be still nice to have an official documentation and guide for the API to write, again, extensions on your own. Having the options for custom integrations would give a few more options for the manifold of online services that offer different or more focused experiences than TrainingPeaks (or Strava, for that matter).
I'd like to get rid of TrainingPeaks at some point, but alas it's currently the only way of getting Workout-Blocks onto the device.
Phone Pairing Syncing
While the phone pairing is welcome, it's features are sparse. Especially not being able to quick-answer to messages, not being able to sync activities when only paired and so on. I'm aware that you can achieve the latter part by enabling a wifi hotspot, but that's draining the battery of the host device.
If phone pairing could be improved in the near feature, that would be most welcome.

Yes I would be happy too to have the possibility to add some personnalised data/graphs fields , in the way (or an other?) they exist with garmin IQs. To name a few :
1. Windspeed/direction
2. W' balance (http://markliversedge.blogspot.com/2014/07/wbal-its-implementation-and-optimisation.html)
3. Power vs time graph : live vs history Powerbests
4. Time in a power zone (i know it kind of exists already with HH but i would prefer absolute time and not %)
5. (SKS/tyre wise) front / back tyre pressure
