Happy, relative new, Karoo 2 user here.

Currently, it's far too easy to accidentally tap the unlock icon and (mistakenly) unlock the screen.

In contrast, my Insta360 camera's touchscreen unlock step is nearly foolproof: To unlock its screen just tap on it, then press and hold on the Red button with the lock on it and drag it to the top of the screen.

Would be nice to have a similar unlock function on my Karoo 2.

Thanks

  @Brian: Thanks a lot for sharing your experience and suggesting the improvements. I assume that you are referring to the lock icon on the map screen to lock/unlock the map screen. I have shared this request with the Product team and they will be happy to discuss it.

  Yes, that's correct, Hari.

  I was unsure how the Feature Request process works so I thought I'd post here and see how it goes.

  Thanks for your response.

  I take my Karoo 2 with me, inside my backpack, when I hike, cross country ski, and backcountry ski.

  Inside my pack, without being touched, the screen unlocks and my "ride" is paused.

  Yesterday, when hiking in Mt Rainier Nat'l Park, I decided to place my Karoo 2 inside a tiny cardboard box before stowing it inside my backpack. Worked great although certainly not a permanent solution.

  Regarding its GPS, I'm pleased to report it never lost signal during the 6 hour hike.
