Have some static ride summary information display on a screen

So when I ride a Sportive in Europe, it's common for the organisers to supply a top tube sticker that details some summary ride information and at what point they are on the journey (e.g. cobbled sections, major climbs, feed stations). This is super useful as a reference especially when you're a the limit and lacking any brainspace to remember stuff!

Here's an example of the concept (actually on a pro's bike)

So the top tube concept works really well, but its something that organisers need to provide or we'd need to DIY something, and whilst my thoughts here started on how an individual could build something homebrew likely involving cable ties and a laminator machine, but...a neater solution would be on my Karoo screen (so a swipe away from a map or data screen) that I could jump to every now and then on a ride, so I can remind myself "it's 7 km to the feed station". 

I was thinking this isn't possible in the native product, but is there an Extension that does this (or is it feasible that it could be built?)

    Hi Daniel, sounds like you need RouteGraph Apk Extension. Download latest version here:

    Hi Daniel Walton,

    Now on Karoo you can set alerts, by time or by distance...you can manualy set them with the text that you want it and by the time or kilometer, karoo will display that alert on the screen...what could be more helpfull than that 🤷

    Hey Dan,

    I've built the exact solution for this. Checkout out https://ridecards.app/ 
    it allows you to upload a photo or photos of that ride summary and then you can load that on a "data page" in the Karoo. Eg just swipe to the last screen on your Karoo and see whats up next.

    You can also make your own "card" by copying this the text and it will format it perfectly to go not he Karoo screen. 

    Let me know if you think this would help solve your problem. At the moment it doesn't do distance into the ride and updating to the next card, but that would be an interesting feature. 

    Would love any feedback, or test it out and see what you think?
