Feature suggestions: UI and QoL changes
Dear Hammerhead
I would like to suggest a few features that I believe would further elevate the usability and functionality of the device.
1. List of Upcoming POI:
It would be highly beneficial to have a feature that lists upcoming Points of Interest (POI), similar to the upcoming climbs view. This would help cyclists better plan their stops and manage their rides more effectively.
2. Customizable Climber and Strava Live Segments Views:
Allowing customization of the Climber and Strava live segments views would provide users with a more personalized experience. Users could tailor these views to display the information most relevant to them, enhancing overall engagement and utility.
3. Color-Coded Chevrons on the Map:
Introducing color-coded chevrons on the map when climbing, as detected by Climber, would be a great visual aid. The color coding could match the colors used in the Climber popup, offering a consistent and intuitive user experience.
4. Support for Non-QWERTY Keyboard Layouts:
Expanding support to include non-QWERTY keyboard layouts would make the device more accessible to a global user base, ensuring that everyone can input information efficiently and comfortably.
5. Color-Coded Heart Rate and Power Fields:
A color-coded version of the heart rate and power fields, where the colors correspond to the zones set in the user’s Hammerhead profile, would provide immediate visual feedback on performance. This feature could help cyclists better manage their effort and training intensity during rides.
6. Customizable Number of Rows and Columns When Designing a Page:
Allowing users to customize the number of rows and the number of columns per row when designing a page. Particularly enabling a 3-column layout, would be very useful. This would allow for efficient placement of e.g. fields like heart rate, power, and speed on the map page.
7. Improved Popup Layout on the Map Page:
The current pop-up layout on the map page overlaps with the map if there are no fields below it (e.g., Climber, Strava, Turn signals). This overlap can render the map useless as long as the popup is displayed. Improving this layout to prevent such overlap would greatly enhance usability.
8. POI Circles Overlapping with Current Position Arrow:
POI circles currently overlap with the arrow indicating the current position, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact location of the POI. Adjusting this layout to avoid such overlap would improve navigation accuracy.9. Filter Routes by Date Added to Hammerhead:
It would be extremely useful to have the ability to filter routes by the date they were added to Hammerhead. This way, the most recently synced route could appear at the top, even if the route creation and last edit date are from the past.

I believe these enhancements would significantly improve the user experience and utility of the Karoo system. Thank you for considering these suggestions. I'm glad to help with any of this where possible.
