Approach alarm for POI
Completed
Is it possible to set an approach alarm for the POI?
At Garmin I was able to enter a radius in meters for each POI.
As soon as I reach this raduis, I get an alarm or notice on the display.

Hi All,
Update: Any Pins along your route will now appear in your Cue sheet, making it easy to see how far you are from a rest stop, feed zone, road hazard, or anything else you want to add as a Pin.
Thank you!

Bringing up this theme.
I dont know if there is allready a function like this on the KAROO2 but I would highly appriciate it.
Imaging during rides on hot summerdays you get an "beeping hint" if you are close ( lets say 2km, could be adjustible) to an public drinking waterstation. Check your bottels and decide if you have to refill or if you continiue your ride/route.
Navigation to POI and back at the closest point on you original route included.
That would be a great feature!
best regards!

@hari, @christian: based on your idea I have built a solution that enables to add free water tap point to your route: https://ridewithpoi.com.
I have been able to show these water tap points on a route within the dashboard: https://dashboard.hammerhead.io/s/Eij76iGZ
But when including the code for a proximity alert when riding within a reach of 70 meters of a POI it doesn't work....
<extensions>
<gpxx:WaypointExtension>
<gpxx:Proximity>70</gpxx:Proximity>
<gpxx:DisplayMode>SymbolAndName</gpxx:DisplayMode>
</gpxx:WaypointExtension>
</extensions>If this could proximity code could remain in the GPX file it would solve this issue.
At the moment when importing the gpx file via upload or using ridewithgps.com using the extension, in both cases this code is being removed.....

Hi there,
I´m considering to order a karoo. POIs are quite important for me, much more than the Strava and climbing stuff...
As Shruti wrote: "Update: Any Pins along your route will now appear in your Cue sheet, making it easy to see how far you are from a rest stop, feed zone, road hazard, or anything else you want to add as a Pin."
- For clarification: The POI/PIN appears in the map view?
- The cue sheet includes all TbT Notifications AND the PINs in order on the route or is there an separate sheet/page only with the (custom) Cues/Pins?
...This would be more useful than mixed with all TbTs, which I´m mostly not interested in to read, they should guide me, when needed. (As far as I tested, Garmin includes the RWGPS POIs, which are PINs in Hammerhead language, as flags in the Map and in a seperate list/page of waypoints not including the TbTs)...
- Is there an approach alarm for all these PINs on my route?
... Christians szenario above is exactly what should happen.... "Imaging during rides on hot summerdays you get an "beeping hint" if you are close ( lets say 2km, could be adjustible) to an public drinking waterstation. Check your bottels and decide if you have to refill or if you continiue your ride/route. Navigation to POI and back at the closest point on you original route included."
I´m riding Brevets, and after 20h or so your thinking is sometimes allready in a sleep mode. The beep to check the bottles NOW, because something to refill is nearby would be better than realizong 30 minutes later, thet you missed the POI/PIN for a water stop etc..
Thanks for clarification.
Would be nice to have RWGPS to do all the preparations, sync, and go...
Ride save,

The pins do show in the map view - touching one of them shows "Distance to Pin" but, if I remember correctly, it is a straight line distance and not distance along the route. Further, distance to Pin is shown in the navigation drawer along with all upcoming turns. The distance shown for the pin is the distance from the previous turn - which means you have to add up all the turn distances between you and your POI pin.
Showing distances to the POIs from my current location has been on my request/wish list forever.
My Garmin watch provides a list of Waypoints with proper distances, but it's a PITA.

Hi Lars,
thanks. So an alarm can´t be set if you come close by a waypoint? What you described means you have to care about the map view or check the navigation drawer to avoid missing a Waypoint/POI?
This would be not so good, especially as you can set global PINs in the dashboard, this feature should be implemented.
I´m wondering why all this units actually can´t do this. The improvement from my currently used Bolt V1 are not so impressive, as I´m not interested in rerouting etc. so much. Its much more important to trigger an alarm, when reaching a certain destination as a reminder for something you have planned in advance.
If so my old Bolt has to stay, it lasts still 12 hours with navigation and paired Powermeter/Cadence, Speed, HR and Di2 for page switching with the hood-buttons - I guess still longer than a Karoo with a readable bright display, right?

It's been a long time since I used the turn-by-turn navigation, so perhaps someone who has more experience with navigation can clarify. But the few times I did use turn-by-turn the POI were handled just like they are one of the turns, with all the prompts, pop-ups, and beeps.
If you are riding a course and you have all the notifications set to not miss a turn, you will not miss a POI, it's just hard to look ahead and see how many miles/km to the next POI.
The only way you will know for sure if it will work for you is to acquire a unit, load a route and see how it all looks in real-time. Hammerhead has a 45 day return policy so you have plenty of time to evaluate the unit.

Hi Lars,
thanks, it is exactly like you wrote here. The list is full of everything mixed up, TBT and POI handled in the same way. So not very usefull.
I found out that a 600km brevet could not be loaded with TBT, is say "preparing route" with no message that something is not working, limited etc...
Is there a limit like described here: https://support.hammerhead.io/hc/en-us/community/posts/4415870065051-Maximum-length-of-a-track-
If so, I can´t just take a route from a brevet organisation without tweeking it to fit on an karoo?
Loaded every route up to 1100km onto my old Wahoo Bolt without thinking that something has to bes splitted, tweaked etc. And this device is from 2017. Hammerhead claims to be the best in class on their comparison page.... (Find out what makes Karoo 2 a better choice).
Any confirmation to the limited track lenght?
Thanks
