You gonna get a Karoo?
Unlikely, but I was a bit intrigued by it, as it's basically an Android optimised for cycling - AIUI anyway. But I CBA with the learning curve of another device when there will most likely be some feature that pisses me off about it.
I just use my phone for everything nowadays. Power bank always plugged in so it's kept fully charged. And I keep my virtually unused Garmin 1030 for any ultra I might get into when I'll need to economise on power.
TBH I might even use my phone for an ultra but keep the screen switched off and have Garmin 705 on just for the map as 705 screen refresh is so much quicker than 1030. Can switch phone screen on when I need more detail for town centres, etc.
I should start using those setups and testing how they work. Just the idea of going back to a Garmin screen after having got used to a phone is really unappealing.

Yeah the 1030 is a step backwards but I keep throwing good money after bad when it comes to Garmin. There's still nothing that quite competes though. I often now use my phone for ad hoc routing during races because it's so much quicker than Garmin and usually does a better job at picking the route. Maybe I should look for phones that do ANT+ (or bluetooth depending on which powermeter I'm using) and ditch all the overpriced Garmins. I just know I'm going to buy a 1030 Plus though. It's an addiction.

EDIT: I just went through the list and it's not including older Garmins or any other computers like Powertaps, etc.
