GPS tech (Garmin, Hammerhead, Wahoo, RWGPS, etc)

You can try out the Karoo dashboard herehttps://dashboard.hammerhead.io/karoo/users/sign_in

The fact I can make a route on my iPhone is pretty good, just playing with it now. Wouldn’t plan a big ride but for re routing or a change of plan, it’s pretty good,

hehe just signed up with fake address, no email validation

Audax route:

Looks like it's susceptible to a bit of XSS. I've emailed them about it They might wanna look at that especially if Routes can be shared between users.

You can't

Anyone got a Garmin 1000 that they'd like to sell me?

Any other Karoo-ites get their actual shipping info (and tracking)?

Mine just came, so it should be with me in Japan pretty soon...

No fucking fair! ... Mine was ordered and paid for in may! Still not had a proper tracking email. :(

I have, but to my mate in NY. He is coming to the UK on Fri, delivery is 'expected' on Thurs so it's touch and go!

The race is on, then! It may be something to do with regulatory stuff (perhaps the UK was behind Japan for that, but I know they’re sending direct from Brooklyn HQ for Japan so maybe it’s that?).

Photos when it arrives, regardless!

Right... I'm cancelling!!!!

.... Hypothetically!!!!

Looks like the most recent update has already added quite a bit - bluetooth audio connection and in device videos.

Hopefully I can watch tv on the train back after rides!

Good news!

The XOSS has released some firmware to stop it crashing.

Still crashes.

That's a different type of crash though.

I got my Karoo tracking number at last!
It's on its way! :)

Huzzah! New features look very cool too!

Looks like mine has been delivered so will hopefully be back in the UK this weekend, but in Edinburgh. So close!

Has anyone used any of the training stuff in Wahoo whilst out on the road?
Any tips or comments?

Karoo DCR review is up - https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2018/02/hammerhead-karoo-cycling-gps-in-depth-review.html

Sounds promising. But very much still beta.
Could be great in a few years. When version 2 comes out.

Glad I cancelled a while back. It’s not quite what they hyped it to be.

Boom for real... :)

Nice!

Better start that owners thread......

Personally I've always been a fan of the design/aesthetics as well as the size, so for me it's looking perfect in the flesh... Nice and solid looking/feeling... Really positive button clicks too.
It's definitely portly... But again, not an issue for me.

Wahoo elemnt added for weight and size comparisons.

Glad they shipped it.

One thing I'll say about the Karoo after the initial setup is that the screen feels bloody awesome. Really responsive and accurate. Happy so far!
Just downloading offline Base maps for London so I can have a quick play with the map screen.
