I just switched from Garmin to Karoo 2. I wonder whether it is possible to auto rotate the data screens, or at least configure that the map screen is shown automatically when a turn comes up and that after the turn it goes back to the data screen you were on. 

Or is the only way to change the data screens by pressing the button?

  Hey Menno,

  Thank you for posting your suggestion here :) Currently, the karoo does not have the capability of auto cycling back to the map screen however we do have the turn-by-turn banners that pop up as you approach the turn :) This article should help you out: https://support.hammerhead.io/hc/en-us/articles/360051739854-Turn-by-Turn-Directions

  You can also swipe to change screens.

  Thanks, for the reply. I hope this will become part of the backlog. This was one of the Garmin features I did like (in contrast to many others).

  I would like to emphasise this, auto changing to map page when approaching a turn and changing back to previous page after would be really great!

  Yeah. Can't believe Hammerhead won't implement this. I don't want to be permanently on the map page when following a route. I would like it to work without the turn countdown, which takes a lot of unnecessary screen and is usually inaccurate for me. What's the point of having lots of data screens but have to spend most of the time on the map screen .🤔

  Is this ever going to be an option - Given the limitation of a single Map data screen in a profile the code cannot be hard to implement when approaching a turn / junction etc. - Just pop to the map when xx away then return back to previous screen - Pretty basic logic personal, could even have it in settings to Auto-Map Y/N for those that don't want it.

  This could be the deal breaker for me not returning the HH2 in the 45 day period
