The year is 2020 & still cannot show temperature in Celsius on my Karoo, come on hammerhead this should of been sorted 2 years ago. The majority of the UK market uses speed in mph and temp in Celsius.

  Hi Matt,
  We are aware that a lot of our UK customers would want the same and know that we need to sort this out. This is already in our pipeline, but, not set on higher priority, as we are working on making the Karoo more stable first. Then we will have this option implemented as customizable for our users.

  Any news on this?  Just got a Karoo 2, and although it's a great unit I was amazed to see that the unit choice is such a simplistic imperial vs metric switch.  This really needs to be configurable for each type of measurement: although I do distance in miles and speed in mph, I do altitude in metres and temperature in Celsius.  Given that the main function of a bike computer is to show you stats when you're riding, not being able to configure the units they're displayed is a big limitation.

  I use kilometres and Celsius, so I’m OK, but I do support the suggested options to select each measurement unit separately.

  Please resolve this issue quickly so that we can make the most of this sensor during winter.  If it was important enough to go to the expense of incorporating the temperature sensor, surely you will agree that is important that all of your users, not just those outside the UK, can actually use it too?

  I can only assume that the programming is outsourced, requiring updates to be in batches to be cost effective?

  Hammerhead responded in Aug 2020 that stability issues came before this issue.  I'm quite shocked that such a simple fix cannot now be placed in an update.  A revision to the code to provide the ability to show a separate value for temperature is all that is being requested.  The core value is already there which needs only a conversion factor applied so it is not as though a new metric must be incorporated.

  This issue is very frustrating with no priority to fix.  This was clearly a design oversight as the ability to choose the scale for any sensor metric is accommodated for with every device from very expensive car equipment to a £20.00 cycle computer I bought on Ali Express.

  This is really important to UK users.

  Just got the unit and pretty much everything is really neat.  Except this !
  I have to do mental conversions all the time - either I go for metric and weight, power and elevation makes sense to me but I don't know how fast I'm going.  Or the opposite.  Most devices (and Strava) have this sorted.  It must be a really easy fix if you were minded to fix it.
