    Sounds like a good idea. At 20% the battery saver does not get you all that much more time though, something like 30–40% might be a better default.

    Another request for an 'auto battery save function'

    During a long wet ride at the weekend, despite the screen being set to minimum, all sensors/notifications off & Rain mode enabled, the battery was going down fast, but I estimated I'd just finish the route in time. However, It then flashed up 'Battery low' then rapidly turned right off. Due to the rain and being in an event there was no way I could have unlocked rain mode, disabled rain mode, and scrolled to enable battery save mode before it turned off. This was about 8 hours into the ride. Fortunately, I knew the rest of the route so could get back without needing the directions so got back OK.

    A configuration option to enable the device to automatically enter battery save mode, and continue to give  the turn-by-turn directions would really help. It would mean I could enjoy the excellent features of the Karoo2 when the battery allowed, then swap to battery save mode and ensure it directed me through the rest of the route.

    Initially a configurable '%battery left' to set before switching would do, however when following a route the device already knows how far there is left, and what my speed & rate of climbing is, so could calculate when and whether it needs to swap to Battery Save to complete the ride!
