Are there alarms you can set in order to be reminded to do something

Hi there,

I preordered the Karoo 2 and for now I'm carefully watching the features my Garmin Edge 1030 offers in order to be able to compare those both devices.

And now I found one feature the Garmin offers of which I didn't read anything on the Hammerhead site. This is, on the Garmin I can set a reminder which will sound after a certain period of time so I know when to drink and to eat. Is there a comparable feature on the Karoo as well?

Cheers, achim

    Hi Achim. 

    Congratulation on your pre-order for Karoo 2.

    Sorry to inform you that currently, we do not have the feature to set reminders on Karoo 2. However, let me take this to our Product team to see how they prioritize it based on the usability.

    Well maybe now that they've been bought out by a well-funded company (SRAM) maybe they can add this feature as well as others. They super need crash/incident detection as well!

    No idea if it's a coincidence or not, but this morning I updated my Wahoo Roam and there is now the possibility to define as many alarms as you want (via the Companion App). Basis of a trigger can be the time, kilometers traveled or calories burned. This allows you to define alarms for drinking or taking breaks, for example. I actually find this a cool thing and would look forward to an integration in the Karoo...

    +1 for this feature. I was using it when I was riding with Locus maps - notify me for every N kilometers, and for every N minutes. And when you are in battery save mode, it should wake up screen for alarm notification.

    @Marc Hoffman, I haven’t updated my Roam yet, but that is precisely what I would find most useful on the Karoo.

    No response from Hammerhead on this matter since 2 YEARS and the feature still missing. And this is a small feature compared to the Heatmap integration etc. :/

    This company is a disgrace with their constant, deliberate lack of feedback on many issues. People are very forgiving even when a company is not performing as long as that company provides some sort of feedback and updates. Hammerhead provide very little of either!!!

    Hello.
    I have just received a Karoo2, and I noticed that there is no possibility to have reminders.
    For me, due to a health problem, it is very important to have several of them written down.
    I found this thread, which has been open for 3 years and there has been no solution. The same in other threads asking similar questions.

    It's a shame, but I'm going to have to return the k2.

    Regards.

    It beggars belief there isn’t a time and distance reminder, such a simple and obvious feature.
