Karoo User Forums

Actually delivering on their most recent (now deleted from the website) roadmap would be nice. Or the original roadmap. I won't hold my breath though.

Hammerhead will try and encourage you to stick to their official apps, so they're bound to remind you that using other apps is unsupported. But plenty of users have had success running third-party mapping/navigation apps on Karoo, such as Komoot. So I wouldn't take a lot of notice of what Hammerhead...

There should be no reason why you can't run Oruxmaps directly on Karoo. Someone here might be willing to try that for you?

Karoo Software Build Version: 1.68.646.3 Release Date August 5, 2019 Introductions and Enhancements: Wifi network scanning is now disabled during rides for further battery savings Bug Fixes: Fixed an issue causing the battery to appear to drain rapidly from around 30% to 1%. Battery drain reporting ...

Doh! I think I've fixed it. I discovered that somehow my auto-pause was switched off.

On my last few rides, I've noticed that my Karoo registers my average speed as way too low. I'm not sure when this started - it might have been with the last software update, but it might well have been before that too. I don't recall any setting to change the way that it calculates this, but it's l...

Because they weren’t sure until they had field reports confirming it in quantity. That’s the problem with electronics and power measurements on chips. They’ve been bitten by over promising and under delivering. I’d give them credit for being cautious for a change. Doesn't make sense to announce it ...

Why shouldn’t they tout it?

I think that's Doug's point. Why didn't they put it in the changelog?

Karoo Software Build Version: 1.66.641.3 Release Date July 18, 2019 Introductions and Enhancements: The compass is now tied to the map orientation and not to the rider’s orientation We’ve improved error handling for navigation and added analytics to capture information encountered by users to furthe...

Karoo Software Build Version: 1.64.641.3 Release Date July 4, 2019 Introductions and Enhancements: You can now sort routes by date, name, distance, proximity, or elevation gain Behind the scenes: Karoo’s navigation engine has been upgraded to prepare for future enhancements Gravel paths now have a g...

Oh dear, that doesn't sound good. I'm clutching at straws here, but have you tried just leaving it charging for a long time, like a few days, to see if that can bring it to life? I wonder if there's something wrong with the screen? It doesn't sound like a happy Karoo, and HH telling you that it's ou...

Some interesting comments in there from DCR, agreed.

That "wireless charging only" thing screams "gimmick" to me. I'm sure they'll change their minds before final release (otherwise they're going to get slated).

When I've had a ride recovered like that, I seem to remember that there's no way to continue it. Anyone know if they've changed that recently, or I'm remembering wrong? It is possible, however, to combine two parts of a ride into one by combining the Fit files from the Karoo, e.g. via something like...

Okay, I worked out that I needed to replace the "/%7B$z%7D/%7B$x%7D/%7B$y%7D" with "/{$z}/{$x}/{$y}" in the URL to make it work. Downloading now!

Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you meant that the URL in the earlier post wasn't working.

If you're into scouting out new routes in unmapped territory, having satellite imagery available offline can be invaluable. You can use OSMand Map Creator (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OsmAndMapCreator) to get them onto your Karoo I have tried this, but the URL no longer works. Could you sha...

Karoo Software Build Version: 1.54.624.3 Release Date June 6, 2019 Introductions and Enhancements: Introduction of Bike Profiles, which keep track of total mileage per bike and allow users to set the wheel diameter individually for each bike You can now switch your page sets and bike in-ride. Select...

Sorry if this is a silly question, but have you enabled Developer Mode so that you can see all apps?

See viewtopic.php?t=73 for how to see Karoo folders and files (some, not all of them) from your PC.

Your instructions are obviously geared to the Mac you own. Is there anything significantly different if using a PC? If so, is there someplace I can go to find PC specific instructions? There's almost nothing Mac-specific in there. The only thing is either adding the folder that adb is installed in ...

I really don't see how Garmin would find it "hard to respond" if Karoo can't even do the basics. It looks like bike profiles are coming shortly but that's been what? 18 months for an incredibly basic feature. At that rate of development it'll be years, if ever, that some of those other features are...
