Follow a Ride like a route
Answered
Hello,
I'm new on Hammerhead Karoo 2, and one concept that I'll try to understand is why there is 'Rides' and 'Routes'. From my point of view should be the same, both are tracks, and both should be available when needed.
I use GPS to follow MTB routes, and some times I use to create a new ones, but sometimes I had to return following my previous steps and I need to reuse my recently saved track/Ride.
I was able to create a Ride and store it. But I can't see how to follow it if required (using the same track to return to the start point)
I've also tried to convert (inside Karoo 2), but I can't see any option to convert/store this ride as a route and use it. Seems that this option is only possible from DashBoard, but the problem is when I'm offline and the only device I'll have is the Karoo2.
Before Karoo, I had some Garmin and this point was solved from many time ago. I've bought karoo2 because I expected that at least also had these basic features.
There is any way to do it? if not, could it be implemented?
Regards

Return to start isn't very intuitive, but it can be done. https://support.hammerhead.io/hc/en-us/articles/360058800714-Route-to-Start
To start a ride with/without a route, here are the instructions. https://support.hammerhead.io/hc/en-us/articles/360051738594-Start-a-Ride
As for converting rides, it's not done natively on the device. You'll upload the track to RideWithGPS or Strava and then "Pin" that ride. The second step is to login to your HH dashboard and update your pinned rides. Unlike Garmin, Hammerhead's dashboard and tools are very limited. It's certainly a downgrade if you're accustomed to Garmin tools.
