My old man got my first Livetrack link from my new K3 the other day, he says he can't view anything after the ride had already been finished.
On my old Garmin Livetrack links, people can view the details even after the ride's finished.
Hi, I have developed an app that allows you to monitor your blood glucose levels while you ride your bike. It runs on the Hammerhead Karoo bike computer. GluKaMon is now out of beta and it's free. Full description of it on the web site: glukamon.com
Highlights:
Picked up the K3 a few days ago, My Pixel Buds Pro 2 support Multipoint (connected to my Pixel 10 Pro and my K3 at the same time), but the audio alerts like radar are not coming through the headphones while I'm listening to Spotify.
I suspect Multipoint only means "connected" to multiple devices, but they can't overlap audio simultaneously.
There's a notification on my phone that says "tap here to switch to the other device for your headphones". I'll have to test that out on my next ride again, even after doing that yesterday, the radar beeps didn't come through the headphones.
I've been a fan of my K3 - I moved to it from Garmin. I've overlooked the poor battery life and some build issues; in particular, I had to order a new shell to overcome the sticky button situation. I was a little concerned a few weeks ago when Ben Delaney posted a short video/pictures of his screen completely separating mid-ride. And now my screen is showing signs of separation...
I'm going to keep using it for now, but I foresee a return to my 1040.
(The image isn't great - the bottom of the screen looks like it is separating. It's beginning to do the same on the top, just not as bad.)
Hey everybody, I’ve been building a new extension that I use on my longer trips and coffee rides, releasing it in free beta: Waybook – https://waybook.cc/karoo
Load a route, tap "build waybook", and it finds the cafés, sights and more around it and writes you a guide you can browse as you ride. Photos, practical info, Google reviews, why a place is worth the stop (e.g. a café run by a former pro: https://waybook.cc/places/girona/hors-categorie )
- Works offline once built. Build it on WiFi at home (faster), or mid-ride over the Hammerhead companion app.
- Nearby mode – real-time search for your next coffee stop ;) in a 4 km ring around you, no route needed
- Every place is drawn on the Karoo map, and you can tap to pull live Google info: reviews, ratings, photos, opening hours.
- Runs as a data field, or open the full app for the richer version.
I’m looking for all feedback!
If you have a Karoo 2, I would love if you really test it out! It should work, but I’ve only ever run this on a Karoo 3.
Hi everyone,
I haven't used my Karoo for about 4 months. When I finally turned it on recently and updated it, I noticed that my authorization tokens had expired (my connected accounts like Strava and Suunto were disconnected). I can understand that part, but the most frustrating thing is that all my Bikes and Profiles have completely disappeared!
Strangely enough, all my paired sensors are still saved on the device.
Has anyone else experienced this issue after a break in using the Karoo? Are there any known solutions, hidden backups, or workarounds to restore the lost bikes and profiles, or am I forced to set up absolutely everything from scratch?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Hello Everyone.
Sorry for my english.
Is there any extension that capable of showing the location of people who I share my location by google map app? Like a POI :D Or someone tried the Google map apk as sideload app?
It would be some much easier (and safer) because we don't have to stop for checking phones. In my family I am the only owner of Karoo, my partner use only his Garmin watch, and I have iphone while he uses Android phones, so the only matching point is Google maps :)
Thank You :)
It has been a while since an update has development stalled?
Hi everyone!
Currently running a Karoo 3 with a Polar H10 chest strap for rides, and an Apple Watch for daily metrics (sleep, HRV, etc. I don't wear it while cycling).
I want to ditch the Apple Watch for something screenless, either a band or a ring. Leaning toward Garmin (maybe the Cirqa band), but that would mean also replacing my Karoo with a Garmin head unit to keep everything in one ecosystem.
Is there a way to avoid that? Looking for either:
Open to self-hosted options too. Anyone solved this?
Does anyone happen to know why the K3 doesn't have resistance and simulation trainer mode options when following a workout (unless I'm missing something?)
I can use the Wahoo app to control the trainer when I want these options, but it would be nice if the Karoo had it!
Went for a ride, Karoo 3 turned on, then black screen and nothing. Was fully charged when I left.
Have tried all of the suggested approaches on "waking" it up, but nothing works. Opened a support ticket yesterday, no response yet. It shows up on my computer as a Bulk USB and lists Qualcomm as the manufacturer, so it must be in some type of processor recovery mode. But I get nothing on the screen - no lights, no flickering, nada.
How long should I anticipate waiting to receive a warranty replacement?
I haven’t ridden my bike in about two weeks. My Karoo sat on my desk unplugged. Plugged it in for my weekend rides to charge with the supplied charging cord and a 5V, 2.5A block; two hours later, I came back to the smell of an electrical fire and a melted electrical mess. No moisture, no debris. There should be a product recall. 
Regulatory bodies cannot act on a few complaints, but they are legally required to investigate if they receive a sudden surge of identical reports.
If regulators find a pattern of unsafe behavior, they can force a mandatory recall or pressure the company into a "voluntary" recall.
Every affected consumer should immediately file an official report with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) via SaferProducts.gov.
Consumers outside the U.S. should file with their respective national safety bodies, such as the European Commission Safety Gate or the UK's Office for Product Safety and Standards.
