Hammerhead please could you address these issues/requests which seem to be the most frequently raised amongst the community:

1. Elevation Gain Correct Measurement

2. On-Off Function for Re-Routing

3. Eat & Drink Reminders

4. Trailforks Integration/App Download

With these 4 fixes/updates - the Karoo 2 would be the best bike computer on the market. You guys have come this far - take it all the way to perfection!

  I would add something else that has also been requested for a long time and by many users.

  - Workout start warnings, with beeps 5 seconds before.

  - Integration with Favero Assioma Duo pedals, Garmin Vector, Garmin Rally, etc. to show cycling dynamics.

  - More data on the board, even in each of the laps: fluidity, torque, etc.

  It was just posted today that the ability to turn rerouting off should be coming in the near future (hooray!): https://support.hammerhead.io/hc/en-us/community/posts/12467856152987

  Hi Anna, I would like to clarify that it is not coming in the next release. As per my message, we are still working on it, and it will be in the next few weeks once it is ready to be shipped.

  Gotcha, I thought “next few weeks” would be within the next release timeframe, but better late than never.

  Javier, the elevation related issues are being investigation currently, and the Trailforks integration in the long term. No current plans for the Eat and Drink reminders, but decisions can change as we expand the market reach.

  Use the map+data layout and you’ll never find the lap button...

  The eat+drink thing sounds like such an obvious quick win that it’s a bit strange it’s not even under consideration (not that it is something I think I would use myself).

  What about calorie data fixes? It's still not appearing in .fit file exports even if you have a power meter. Still no option to get calories from heart rate data. Surely a lot of people cycle to get fit.

  I borrowed a friends Karoo 2 and really would LOVE some kind of Trailforks integration.  Either not messing up the screen of a side-loaded instance of Trailforks or better support for Gaia GPS w/Trailforks overlays (again, mostly around the screen's getting messed up).

  THIS is the MAIN thing that's really keeping me from purchasing my own Karoo unit, adding in more GPS receivers wouldn't hurt though.

  Trailforks support would win over a lot of mtn bikers.

  @Alan - don't hold your breath matey. We've been asking for this for two years and only ever got woolly, non-committal (either way) answers. Trailforks for mtb'ers is not a 'nice to have' it's pretty much essential.

  I want to be able to select if I'm on foot or on the bike. I run, hike and ride with my K2. Changing everything post activity can be a pain.

  Hi
  I’ve used the Karoo for a few months and here are my biggest cons:

  -while using varia radar the beep is so quiet can barely hear it. This is a deal breaker for me. Using headphone via Bluetooth is somewhat of a compromise.
  
  -while in the map the lap button is disabled. This was a problem for me when the page automatically switched to the map page and then I wanted to hit the lap button (in a race circular course). Can you make a button or have an option for the one button to always do a lap no matter what page you are on? I turned off auto switch to map to solve this but not great.

  
  -while selecting to follow a route in reverse it only shows the first 12km

  
  -the lap drawer is just awesome but can it also display current lap numbers as a lap “0”. Ie, show current and all history on same list. That way you don’t have to have a separate screen for laps, you can always rely on the lap drawer.

  Hi y'all - pls throw all your votes on a single thread / feature request, otherwise it will be diluted in votes and never be considered, I'm afraid. This is what past HH practice has shown, unfortunately.

  Integration with Trailforks, or at least add Trailforks trails and trail names to the maps, and keep 'em up to date please!
