Group ride for Karoo is ready! Who wants to test?

Go to: https://karoo.codensity.eu

Create an account on the website (you manage your groups through the web - on the Karoo itself it wouldn't be comfortable), install the app on the Karoo and pair it to your account - and you're ready to go!

Main functionalities:

- see others from your group directly on your Karoo in the map view

- if something happens (e.g. you get a flat tire) you can press SOS button in the app and others will see SOS icon on the map with your location to help you

- for the teams - coach can have a view of all the riders in the group on the web - also in map view. He can see the parameters of the riders (speed, power, HR, cadence, distance). He also sees SOS sign if something happens.

- refresh rate can be set by the user (2/5/10/20/30/60 seconds) - I didn't test the battery drain in detail yet, but even with 2s refresh rate enabled it didn't go down faster than usually.

  Two ways:

  - GSM if you've got a SIM card inside your Karoo 2

  - Wifi (e.g. from Phone's hotspot)

  With Karoo 3 it might be also from tethered phone (via bluetooth) and Companion App.

  Love the idea, but unless there's also an extension available for Garmin and Karoo users, it will be hard to actually use. Every group ride I do has a mix of all three.
