Feature Suggestions
Very happy with Karoo2. Wanted to share some features that would make the device near perfect when implemented:
- 3 random routes to choose from based on location, elevation gain, roadsurface type (alah Mio surprise me function: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AH5L0raAeM4)
- Possibility to only sync a subset of routes: option in dashboard to select which routes to sync to device
- Easily reverse route (without changing parts of the route) on both dashboard and device (autodetect and suggest reverse route if ridden in opposite direction)
- Start anywhere in an existing route based on closest point to your location disregarding the original start and endpoints
- Proper/rich ride summary on device and dashboard at the end of a ride
- Possibility to delete/cancel an accidentally started ride without the need to save it first (might be that there is a solution for this that I am not aware of but this is annoying since it happens often)
I think the device is now being developed in the direction of more support for serious road / Strava riders (which is fine) but less for the touring / fun / less performance oriented riders which is a missed opportunity AFAIC. The device is powerful enough to accommodate both.
Oh and something funky is going on with the maps. I frequently need to (re)download maps for which I already downloaded the offline regions so not sure what is going on there.

"you can unselect strava or whatever at the end of the ride so it doesnt upload".
Thx for the tip and I am aware of that. However, even wo uploading to other services I find it annoying I cannot cancel saving an accidentally started ride. Probably Hammerhead does this to prevent accidental loss of rides by erring on the side of caution but still....
