Temperature sensor readings are low
My Karoo has always shown a temperature a few degrees lower than in reality. Sometimes the differences reach 5-6 degrees. In this period, it is always an understatement of the true value. I don't know how it will be in the summer in the sun, but now it is not good. It would be useful to be able to calibrate the temperature sensor. Preferably at least two points.

Dear Gregory, Thanks for sharing your suggestion.
The functionality of temperature calibration would indeed be good to be added. I've shared your feedback with the product team.I appreciate the opportunity to explain this further. Karoo’s temperature readings can be affected by ambient conditions, device temperature, sunlight, and other environmental factors, just like other digital thermometers. Variations are common since most consumer-grade sensors have a margin of error and serve as reference points rather than precise measurements. Weather reports and mobile apps also provide generalized data, not real-time readings from your exact location.

Thanks in advance.
This Karoo 3 sensor is really weak. I personally have a regularly calibrated thermometer (used for work), and before K3 I had K2 and 5 Garmins and none of them showed such a big difference than K3. The maximum was 2°C, but in K3 it is sometimes as much as 5-6°C and depends on the actual temperature (it floats on the characteristic). In winter, around zero degrees, it showed frost. So the sensor is bad or maybe mounted in the wrong place or the software has a bug. The possibility of minimum 2 point calibration may help to solve this problem.
