Two Map cards in same profile
Answered
Hi there,
By now i am mostly using the default "Got Hills?" profile with some changes in the data page.
Sometimes i do not need to see the hills graph and would like to swipe to a clean map, map only or a map with a couple metrics (speed and altitude perhaps)
It seems we can only have one map card in the same profile. If i try to add other pages (cards) only data and workouts are available.
I know i can go back to home and choose another profile where my map card is a clean map only but that implies a lot more buttoning than simply swiping btw different map/data cards.
Regards

@Perchera, we will be looking into this in future but as of now, there are two main challenges related to crashes and battery drain. This is not a high priority item as of now, and we have a similar discussion going on in here: https://support.hammerhead.io/hc/en-us/community/posts/360037772633-Second-Map-screen

@Ali I am making it my mission to get this feature implemented, and I am at a loss why you folks still insist on thinking that we (riders) want two maps in the same layout (i.e. susceptible to crashes and battery drain). We want to be able to use multiple layouts that include a single map in the same profile!

I proposed this, but, if having 2 maps means draining your battery of course i don't want it either.
Anyways, if it is an optional thing i don't think it should be a problem for those willing to have one map card only, no need to make a mission against it, just give users the choice to use more than one map card if they want to or to not use them if they don't want to.
In fact i am sending back my karoo. The map is simply useless for me. The moment i leave my town it seems i am riding an old "incongnita terrae" map. There is nothing in the map, minor roads, gravel paths, hiking paths, they all look like the same thing. No elevation contours. No peak/mountains names and elevation. If you want to venture into an unknown area the map will be useless, you will need to open your phone and any other app to see a real map.
Why? Maybe the karoo is intended for roadies who always have road signs. Not a device for offroad mountain biking.

South Eastern Spain, Granada and Almería, i opened another thread to discuss this and posted some screenshots, the karoo map is just too basic
See my post and screenshots: https://support.hammerhead.io/hc/en-us/community/posts/1260801900349-Raster-maps-contour-lines
No way that one can venture in the mountains with a map like that

oh yes, nothing to do, i posted screenshots of twonav and wikiloc in that thread, and here's one of Garmin*, same area:
edit: and believe me, i know these maps are based on osm and not all regions have the same contributions and not all regions are that good, but i've seen the osm map of this area and it is much better than the karoo's.
Anyway, not my fault that a given region is empty in osm, karoo need to provide alternatives. And, in any case, HH should not delete so many elements of the original osm.

@Brandon, here in Spain we're lucky to have the National Geographic Institute that provides maps for free. If you know a bit of map making you can create your own maps easily (raster or vector). Programs like Mobac for windows can also create maps from many sources in the world in many different formats, but of course the gps device or the app in mobile must be compatible with some of those formats (rmap, ecw, jnx, sqlite...), same with Global Mapper, super powerful tool for map making, but, if the karoo ties you to it's only one map...
