Old Software Version - 1.21.495.3
Karoo Software Build Version: 1.21.495.3
Release Date January 17, 2019
Introductions and Enhancements:
New, higher-contrast map style for easier viewing under bright sunlight
The Karoo homescreen has been redesigned to make ride mode its central purpose and allow more convenient launching of rides
Full data screen management:
- New drag-and-drop page creation tool for custom data field layout that maximizes screen real estate
- Existing Karoo data screens are automatically migrated to the new layouts
Data field appearance update:
- Data fields are redesigned with consistent and larger fonts to capitalize on the screen real estate.
- Initial reworking of data field display: Removed the use of “n/a” and replaced with “...” (sensor connected but not showing a value); “- -” (missing data, e.g. distance to destination after route removed), and “0” (sensor showing zero value). Further refinements are expected in future releases
Riders will see a timed banner displaying a message when going off-route, and another notification when rejoining the route. The color of the turn-by-turn instructions will change to blue (to match the re-route line) when off course
Further ANT+ Support:
- Support for Get/Set Crank Length on ANT+ Power Meters
- Support for Calibration of CTF-based ANT+ Power Meters
- Battery status is now dynamically shown in the sensors app for non-Power Meter ANT+ devices that declare battery status and runtime
Rides can now be started from the home screen using the buttons on the side of Karoo
The Karoo screen no longer turns on/off in response to power being applied or removed. This is in support of customers using dynamometers to power Karoo in rides
Bug Fixes:
Accuracy improvements for in the 3, 5, and 10 second average speed fields.
Fixed an issue which could cause the average speed field field to briefly spike to extreme values
Improvements were made to Karoo's performance in long rides:
- Memory leak and high CPU spikes removed
- Fit file recording remains solid over time
- Under normal conditions data fields are not dropped from fit records
The above improvements also resolve the data field freezes reported by some customers
Distance to Next Turn, Distance to Destination, ETA, and Time to Destination are cleared when a route is removed during an activity
Data field initialization issues have been resolved. This includes issues like previous ride’s values being visible before the next activity has been started, fields not zeroing when data is no longer available, and graphic fields not behaving well if sensors stopped transmitting
An issue has been resolved where rides were not consistently saved/recovered if Karoo’s battery was emptied during a ride
Features and Bug Fixes Still in Progress:
Known Bug: The on/off route detection is currently working only on the map view.
Known Bug: The gray line indicating the path traveled does not stand out on the new map style.
Known Bug: The historic elevation graph can become non-functional while recording.
Overall, Q1 2019 is focusing on reliability and stability.
The single highest prioritized feature is a predictive elevation graph.
Graphical data fields reworked to match the static data fields, changing “n/a” values to reflect sensors not transmitting, sensors not paired, and zero values.

Old Software Version - 1.33.582.3
Karoo Software Build Version: 1.33.582.3
Release Date March 14, 2019
Introductions and Enhancements:
Upcoming course elevation graph has been introduced
The graph defaults to show the next 2 miles, and can be zoomed in or out by holding the left-side hardware buttons on the Karoo, or by using an on-screen pinch gesture
Sensor precedence rules have been added, allowing riders to order sensors in the in the sensors application by dragging and dropping. Sensors higher in the list have priority over sensors lower in the list. If a higher priority sensor is not available for any reason, Karoo falls back to the sensor in the list that can fill the purpose
The Karoo GPS is added to the sensor list, enabling users to choose GPS-based speed/distance over a speed sensor if desired
Significant changes have been made to underlying software structure to improve Karoo’s battery life. The added framework lets us add further battery optimisations as they become identified over time. As of this release, these changes include:
- Background activities are now turned off while in a Ride
- Background activities when not in a ride are more compliant with Android architecture, allowing for battery preservation
- After pausing for 5 minutes, the screen will turn off. It will turn back on when resuming the ride or when the power button is pressed by the rider Karoo will now power down after 2 hours when not in a ride if the user has not interacted with the device
Calibration/Zero Offset added for Bluetooth power meters - tap on the connected sensor in the Sensors page, then scroll down to find the calibrate button
The Karoo now displays battery status of paired bluetooth devices - tap on the sensor in the Sensors page to see battery information
On the map view, the color of the line indicating the route traversed has been updated for improved visibility
When the user disables the map in a page profile, it is no longer shown in-ride if a route is selected for the ride. Turn by turn directions and on/off route messaging continue to be shown with banner directions
Adding a field that includes two options (like Heart Rate & Heart Rate with Circular Zones) has been streamlined. A rider only has to extend the menu and click the desired item. There is no longer an additional “accept” button press required
Changing an activity name on Karoo updates that name on both Strava and the Karoo activity list
The start-up sequence of applications in Karoo is now properly dependent on system-ready indications from Android
Bug Fixes:
A variety of reported sensor-related defects were checked against the new user-managed precedence solution and found to be working. See updated feature above
A reported issue with GPS flakiness was identified and fixed. Internal testing now shows consistent GPS reliability throughout long rides
An issue was identified and resolved which was causing rides to end abruptly, returning the rider to the launcher (home screen)
An issue was fixed where a creating a route mid-ride would result in start location originating from the original ride start rather than the current location
Fixed incorrect indications for left and right turn in roundabout exits
The 1, 3, and 5s speed fields are now free-running and are not subject to pause. It had been possible for these to have a residual speed and then stop “draining” off at that point
Fixed an intermittent bug where on/off route indication would not display on non-map pages
Fixed a problem where, after a factory reset, if the user took all the skip options, the launcher would not load without a second reboot
Fixed a bug that caused the travel path to sometimes jump
Fixed an issue that caused the ride app to crash if opened while offlining a route
Fixed an issue in which multiple routes could be added to the map
Fixed a bug in which auto-pause sometimes failed to resume a ride
Fixed a bug in which Time to Sunset and other Dawn/Dusk related fields would not update when GPS points were missing
Fixed an issue that could cause the Offline Map Service to crash
Fixed an issue where the status could disappear on the Summary page for the white theme display
Resolved an issue where the saving spinner could get stuck while saving once a ride has been completed
A bug has been resolved that made it possible for the last distance traveled in a ride to be temporarily visible at the start of the next ride
Fixed a problem where the "Remove Route" menu item could fail to change to "Add Route" after a route was removed
A bug was fixed where the post-ride activities summary could show the summary for a prior ride
Behind the Scenes:
We’ve added additional logging to capture battery drain statistics based on the features used by our riders. This sets us up for further battery improvements in the future
Integrated a new routing SDK for future improvements

Old Software Version - 1.42.600.3
Karoo Software Build Version: 1.42.600.3
Release Date April 25, 2019
This release updates the offline maps on your Karoo. You must offline your region(s) before riding to use turn-by-turn navigation and maps. To do this:
1. Tap Settings on the home screen
2. Swipe down to Offline Map Sections and tap it
3. A downward arrow next to a region's name indicates there are sub regions—tap the name of these regions to expand the list (e.g. North America > US > Massachusetts)
4. Tap the DOWNLOAD button next to the region you want to download
5. The region will display a status bar as it downloads, and will add the word READY when it's finished. The DOWNLOAD button will also change to REMOVE
Introductions and Enhancements:
The offlining of individual routes and small areas has been removed and replaced by large offline regions. Users now select named regions to be offlined, such as individual US states, and can download as many regions as they need. Routes within a downloaded region will instantly be available with TbT instructions and map
- You must offline your region(s) before riding to have turn-by-turn navigation and maps—existing offlined routes will no longer work until you download their corresponding region
The map renderer and map style has been updated
The Routes app has been updated to reflect the large offline regions update
The elevation calibration mechanism has been rewritten to consider the location where it was calibrated, and will automatically update the calibration from that location
The user-orderable sensor list, which sets the priority for sensors, now shows which sensors are active and feeding the display and underlying ride recording (fit file). This is shown by the icon for each sensor profile turning green for the active sensor
The surrounding frame for the sensor list was reduced to leave more room to show the list of sensors in the sensors app
The touch screen can now be locked by the user, allowing only button inputs
- This is enabled and disabled by simultaneously pressing the bottom left and top right buttons
- It can also be enabled or disabled using the in-ride menu
All data fields have been revisited to display a more appropriate number of decimal places of accuracy for the data they display
When creating a new page set, the plot page now includes the predictive elevation graph rather than the historic elevation graph
Bug Fixes:
Fixed a bug where routing information was not being updated for older routes and could result in an empty red turn banner rather than turn-by-turn instructions
Fixed an issue causing an incorrect start location when creating a route mid-ride
Corrected an issue where the TbT Banner was shown in red on data screens when starting a ride and not yet on the route.
The banner is now correctly shown in blue in this case
A number of accounts have been fixed that were not showing the user’s email on Dashboard. These accounts were also not able to change their password but are now able to
The Vertical Speed and Current Grade data fields have been reworked to address reports of them frequently dropping to zero
A fix has been deployed to address Karoo Page Profiles not being synced and therefore not being restored to Karoo after a factory reset
Fixed a bug causing some data fields to intermittently display an incorrect “. . .” reading
A variety of improvements were made to address routes being reported as complete (destination reached) as a ride was beginning
Improvements were made to the battery charge graphic shown when Karoo is turned off, plugged in, and the battery has reached full charge. Previously the graphic was confusing and appeared to show the battery was fully drained. Further improvements will be made to this graphic in the future
Features and Bug Fixes Still in Progress:
The Advanced Testing Group has identified some missing map details (e.g. specific bodies of water and certain roads). These only affect the map display, and won’t impact your route. We’re continuing to improve them. The Advanced Testing Group felt that this update was a significant step forward and that it should be released to everybody.

Old Software Version - 1.54.624.3
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 Edit Ride from the in-ride menu to make these changes
Choosing to ride a route through the routes menu on the home screen now adds the route to the ride launcher, where the page set and bike can be selected
The Map now can be configured to always be oriented northward. Along with this, the compass was returned to the map view To enter North-Up mode, the rider presses on the compass. To return to standard map mode, press on the cursor icon in the bottom left of the North-Up map.
Rerouting has been improved to better move the rider forward to resume the route
Side-loaded applications now automatically show up in the launcher alongside official Hammerhead applications
- While we don’t officially support this use case, we appreciate the ingenuity of our community and want to make the process more convenient
If internet connectivity is not available, elevation calibration is performed using GPS data (previously, elevation calibration was only possible when internet connectivity was available)
Refinements to the rider cursor and scale meter shown on the map view
Bug Fixes:
An intermittent issue causing data fields to appear blank has been resolved
Improvements have been made for re-routing if a rider is on a dirt/gravel road while riding a road route
Performance improvements reduce the time that Karoo takes to prepare turn-by-turn directions for long routes
Fixed a number of issues causing a "Continue ride" message to get stuck on the navigation banner
Fixed an error with rerouting that could occur when a ride’s out-bound route overlapped with its return route
The syncing of accounts and making routes available with turn-by-turn instructions has been improved. This removes false negatives where routes were causing a “breadcrumb only” navigation warning when full TbT instructions were in-fact available
Waypoint markers, as seen when viewing routes on Karoo, are again centered on the route line rather than being offset from the line
Fixed a long-time issue where the first press of the B/C buttons for zooming or otherwise navigating could sometimes be missed
Using the hardware buttons to zoom in on zoomable fields no longer moves in and out by two increments instead of one
An error was corrected where a user could be notified that they needed to logon to Karoo but when navigating to settings->Hammerhead Account, it appeared that the user was already logged on
The order of pages displayed when swiping the screen was backward compared to the order defined in the pages application. This has been fixed
The management of the creation of accounts and logging in on Karoo is expanded to allow additional characters, and the messages displayed for improper characters when present is accurate
Added support for non-standard characters previously missing from the sign-up name field
Karoo no longer displays a “No Notifications" message when dismissing the Quick Menu

Old Software Version - 1.81.663.3
Karoo Software Build Version: 1.81.663.3
Release Date September 3, 2019
Introductions and Enhancements:
Routes now include chevrons to indicate the direction of travel. This applies for a distance in front of the rider’s current location, and also for points of route reentry
Updated maps and navigation tiles
Battery percentage remaining is now being recorded in fit files for every reported percentage change
The color of the notification bar and launcher circle has been updated to make it consistent and differentiated when riding, in manual pause, and in auto-pause
Datastream management optimizations, which have the effect of faster ride starts and overall execution efficiency
Bug Fixes:
Internal workings have been improved to further save on battery drain rate.
Units have been added to the field names for Distance To Destination and similar data fields
Compass now rotates when map is unlocked
Fixed a bug that was causing elevation calibration look-up by internet service to fail even when connectivity was available. Prior to this fix, elevation calibration was falling back to use GPS in all cases (other than manual calibration)
Fixed a bug with Wifi not being re-enabled at the end of a ride. This was happening if the screen turned off after five consecutive minutes of the ride being paused
Fixed a bug where placing a disabled GPS sensor above a speed sensor in the sensor priority list would prevent the speed sensor from working
The map scale bar now shows the units in metric or imperial based on user preference
Changed the current grade field to no longer show -0% for small negative grades. The field now shows 0% instead

Old Software Version - 1.85.670.3
Karoo Software Build Version: 1.85.670.3
Release Date September 16, 2019
Introductions and Enhancements
Added a switch to the Routes view, allowing users to see only a text-based list that allows more routes to be visible without scrolling. Use the list icon at the top left of the routes screen to toggle the view mode
Turn-by-turn banner behavior is now configurable on a per page basis. Each data page can be configured in the pages app to operate in one of these modes:
- No turn-by-turn banner on page
- Turn-by-turn banner pops up when new instructions are available
- Turn-by-turn banner is always on - in this case the data fields are compressed to make room
Based on user feedback, data fields are now centered rather than left-justified
Additional improvements to the chevron implementation for U-turns and looped routes
Bug Fixes
Fixed a rare issue where Karoo could freeze and applications restart after hanging
Fixed an issue in which the Karoo was not properly handling a particular flag that can be returned from a crank-torque power meter. The flag had previously been erroneously displayed as a cadence value
Improvements were made to calibration for crank-torque power meters
Offline map region downloads are now more reliable on poor quality networks
