Feature Request: Exporting tracks as gpx
I am now the proud owner of a Karoo, having ridden all my bikes with my smartphone for many years. It was always very easy for me to make cyclical evaluations for time periods and the individual bikes, as I had the gpx tracks available for each individual ride.
Riding with the Karoo is now worlds better. It's a completely different, much better ride, with no problems seeing anything on the display, having to charge the battery or the smartphone going crazy in the rain.
However, I miss the gpx tracks. I could get them from Strava, which I am currently doing. However, the values of the tracks there are always recalculated differently and I don't want to be dependent on such a service.
Wouldn't it be a great feature to be able to write the tracks (rides) automatically as gpx somewhere. Like the automatic sync with Strava, for example? This could be a cloud like Google Drive or OneDrive. Or, very nerdy via ftp or WebDav to your own target or an API to be able to fetch the files yourself with simple means?
The Karoo does so many things differently and better than others, why not this too?
For me, this is the last open point to a truly perfect device.

I browsed the files in Karoo connected to the computer via USB. Unfortunately, I did not find the resulting gpx files from the routes traveled. Maybe I was looking in the wrong place, or maybe there is no gpx there. It is a pity, because it would be a very good option to download them to the computer. It could also work the other way around, i.e. allow you to upload planned routes in gpx form to the device. This would be the first step to working offline.
If someone from HH could describe here if and where the appropriate files are, that would be nice.
