More features for Profiles please!
Planned
I want Hammerhead to take full advantage of the Profiles settings.
For example I find a default bike per profile to be a obvious choice. If I choose the profile Road I obviously want my road bike to be selected.
I also want the feature Auto Pause to be a part of the Profile Settings.
To take Auto Pause one step further it would be to add Location (turning GPS on/off) to Profile Settings. It seems natural to turn GPS off for the Profike “Indoor training”.

Hey Håkan,
We are certainly looking into this. The product team is working on improving the overall experience by tying in bikes and Auto-pause settings to Profiles.
We prioritise each feature based on the number of user requests, impact on current customer base, usability, market value etc. We are already looking into it, but the timeline isn’t available for us to share. I do not want to promise something that we can’t deliver on time, and would rather be happy to announce timelines or apps as they are ready.

I really appreciate Hammerheads efforts to make Karoo the best computer out there. But I think their recent updates changes things out in the margins. The request above should really make a big difference for any user. Keep changing the way exercises are saved will soon make things more confusing than it helps. Please give us a road plan for implementing more useful setting into profiles.

Yes, some profile features would be great for things like auto-pause not stopping the recording indoors as well as not needing GPS but I found with my Garmin if GPS wasn't on indoors the time would be all messed up not sure if there would be a similar issue with this device but with the other, it was a huge pain the date and time being wrong when riding indoors during the winter months.

9 months have past.
Is there any news about this? I've been missing some outdoor rides because I shut the GPS off on a indoor excercise the day before.
I recommended a Karoo 2 the other day to a former Garmin user. One of his questions was about profiles and on that part, the Karoo comes short.

Auto Pause/GPS and similar would be really nice if the profile saved that setting. About 75% of my riding is on the trainer in the basement anymore so I have a "Zwift" profile and then a couple of profiles for training, racing, etc. I could also see having specific profiles per depending on the various sensors that each bike may have. i.e. Road bike 1 with PM 1, Track bike with PM2, MTB 1 with cadence sensor, etc.

+1000 to the indoor profile = GPS off capability.
Without it, not only do you have to fiddle with turning GPS on or off (yes, this is a pain), the updates sync'd to Strava are missing a fair amount of info...
Not to mention, it's a pretty obvious Garmin feature comparison point.
Also... not sure how this question is considered "Answered" - it is not! -
Hey Barry,
We certainly have this feature planned out on our roadmap for implementation.We are working on optimizing the core architecture of the software before we dive into this feature. However, I can confident you will see this feature on the Karoo in the next couple of months :)

It seems to me that "a couple of months" now have past since last Hammerhead respons in this thread.
I curiously read the mail with updates but every time I get a little disappointed.
It would really fill the base of functions you would expect on a bike computer.Any updates about this?
