Hammerhead Karoo 2

brownian

I got one of these a few weeks ago, in the hope that it'd overcome some of the shortcomings of the Wahoo Roam, most notably map panning/zooming and on-the-ride route adjustment.

With some fecking about, it does, in fact, do both of these things.

However, I haven't managed to get it to show a MAP screen, with my chosen data fields (speed and gradient) at the top. This is the screen I use all the time on the (very configurable) Wahoo.

Has anyone managed this?

Mini-review so far: lovely screen, pretty maps that show up/downhill (why don't Wahoo do this?). Solid enough navigation. Not too big (much smaller than Karoo 1, only a touch bigger than Roam). Touch-screen works well. Loads of climb information (more than I want). Screens not very configurable (a fair choice of pre-defined setups, but none that actually meets my preferences). Battery less capable than Wahoo, but still enough for an average weekend of riding.

So timing may not be what you want to hear but....

....Wahoo have added gradient colouring for the Roam and updated the rerouting on the fly, dcrainmaker has a bit on it.

I have a Karoo2. My default screen is map and I have speed/cadence/distance/hr all also displaying on that screen so I can't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to also get gradient.

Thank you - I'll have another go. Is that one of the pre-assembled sets of data fields, or did you create it yourself? I don't want HR or cadence or distance, really...Thanks again

If you edit the profile, tap the field you want to put gradient in you should get a list of topics, current grade % is under the climb heading.
