Live segments Strava

Hi everyone,

On Strava, I have some segments saved as favorites, but they don’t show up on my Karoo 2—neither in the settings nor while I’m riding when I pass through them. I’ve hit the sync button multiple times, but they still don’t appear.

Garmin like Power/HR Graph

I switched from a Edge 540 to the Karoo and while especially Navigation is so much better, graphical representation of most of the values are subpar to say the least.

Since the Karoo is a simple Android device I chose to build the Garmin like graphs myself. I'm not a frontend or android dev but I can code and know my way around in software developement. With some vibe coding, tinkering with the results and debugging, it took me only half a day to get the first working version, another half a day for making it even better that the garmin version, you can switch between 1min/5min/full ride scaling.

Just wanted to say that while the Karoo lacks some Features that e.g. Garmin has (miss the stamina bar) it is great to have such an open device in 2026.

Edit: I will share it at some point, there is still some stuff to do and a few bugs.

[Extension] Auto Loop Karoo – auto-scrolls your ride pages, map-aware at turns [Beta]

Hey everyone! I built a small Karoo 3 extension that automatically cycles

through your ride data pages so you don't have to tap while riding.

**What it does:**

- Scrolls through all pages in your active profile at a configurable interval

- Starts automatically when you begin recording, stops when you pause or end

- Navigation-aware: switches to the map page when you're approaching a turn,

then resumes scrolling automatically after

- Toggle on/off anytime from the app settings

- Beep + on-screen alert when it activates/deactivates

**Configurable from the app:**

- Time per page (1–30 s, default 5 s)

- Distance to switch to map before a turn (10–100 m, default 25 m)

- Distance after turn to resume scrolling (10–100 m, default 10 m)

This is a **beta (v0.9)** — tested by me on real rides, seems solid,

but looking for feedback from others before calling it 1.0.

**Install via ADB:**

adb install AutoLoopKaroo-0.9-beta.apk

GitHub: https://github.com/anpaiss/AutoLoopKaroo/releases/tag/v0.9-beta

Any feedback, bug reports or feature requests welcome — either here or

as a GitHub Issue. Hope someone finds it useful!

Offline import of rouets / GPX files impossible?

I just got my Karoo 3 and I simply cannot wrap my head around the fact that it appears to be impossible to import routes / GPX files (or whatever format) when not using any cloud service.

I just want to move over my GPX files created via bikerouter.de and other services and import them into the native Karoo navigation app. I don't care about any online dashboard, companion app or what ever third party online service is out there.

Already enabled files transfer via USB and and took a quick look at most extension but nothing seems to allow this which is kind of mind boggling.

Am I missing something here? Is there some extension for this or is it simply not possible? 😐

[EXTENSION] Average speed colour

I’ve been working on a Karoo extension that shows your current speed colour-coded against a reference speed — green when you’re above pace, red when you’re below.

What it does:

  • Speed vs. Ride Average — current speed vs. your overall ride average.
  • Speed vs. Last Lap — current speed vs. last lap’s average.
  • Current Lap vs. Last Lap — this lap’s average vs. the previous lap’s average.
  • Speed vs. Target — current speed vs. a custom target speed you set.
  • Lap vs. Target — current lap average vs. your custom target speed.

Colour-coded so you can read it at a glance — no colour when you’re within ±1 kph/mph of your reference, green when faster, red when slower. Optional teal mode if you prefer that over green.

Supports single and double-width field layouts, with configurable direction arrows and the option to swap which speed appears on top.

Works on Karoo 2 and Karoo 3.

Latest release (v1.1.3): https://github.com/j4m1eb/Karoo-Average-speed-colour/releases/tag/1.1.3-release

Free and open source. Based on an extension by currand ↗ — simplified to show actual average speed.

Free and open source (MIT).

Calorie tracking?

Is it still not possible to track calories just on basis of your heart rate and without a power meter?

I am using the Karoo 3 with cadence sensor and heart rate sensor.

AutoLoop Karoo v0.9.1-beta — stability update

Hey everyone, small but important update for AutoLoop Karoo.

No new features this time — this release focuses entirely on under-the-hood stability fixes that should make the extension more reliable during long rides.

What changed since v0.9-beta:

- Fixed a potential issue where duplicate scroll commands could be sent if the extension was initialized more than once

- Added a short debounce on settings changes — rapidly toggling the switch or moving sliders no longer causes multiple activations in quick succession

- The scroll button is no longer sent unnecessarily on profiles with only a single page

- All Karoo system calls are now wrapped in error handling, so the extension won't crash if the system service disconnects mid-ride

- The turn detection threshold is no longer hardcoded at 150m — it now scales automatically with your configured cue distance setting

Download: https://github.com/anpaiss/AutoLoopKaroo/releases/tag/v0.9.1-beta

Feedback and bug reports welcome as always — especially if you're riding with unusual route profiles or GPS signal issues.

Karoo Software Build Version: 1.628.2410 - April 16 2026

New Karoo ONLY:

 

Features:

  • Introducing the Flight Attendant Integration on Karoo. You now have the ability to fully control your paired Flight Attendant system directly from Karoo.
  • You can now adjust your Flight Attendant settings (bias, LSC, LED’s etc.) from the new Control Center tab while you are riding.
  • You can also access additional Flight Attendant settings (Adaptive ride dynamics, controller configurations etc.) from the Sensor Details menu on Karoo. 
  • We added a variant of the Workout Graph data field which shows the workout graph with zone colors. To add, go the workout section on the profile data picker. 
  • We added a message that notifies riders that GPS will be turned off when a profile is changed to indoor.
  • We updated the notifications drawer so that phone disconnected state does not display when only a custom alert is triggered.

Extensions & Public API:

  • We added the WearTracker app to the Extension Library. Download and install WearTracker to track wear and mileage on bicycle drivetrain components, brakes, and tires.

Bug Fixes:

  • We fixed an issue where the back button would intermittently stop working during the phone pairing process. 
  • We fixed an issue where AXS bike sync would intermittently not sync bikes to Karoo. 
  • We fixed an issue where Karoo would crash if a rider would open rides on Karoo, exit and change their locale, and then return to rides. 
  • We fixed an issue where ride resume would overwrite a valid FIT file that could result in ride loss.

 

Dashboard:

 

Features:

  • We added a back button to dashboard’s route editor.
  • We changed the Done button to be the Save button on dashboard’s route editor.
  • We updated the QR login flow so that riders are taken straight to the login page after clicking the QR code link.

 

Bug Fixes:

  • We fixed an issue on ride review where the Y axis for battery was missing for the e-Bike.
  • We fixed an issue where climbs on the routes page were getting cut off in certain languages.
  • We fixed an issue so that scroll bars always appear on new menus.

Is Hammerhead planning a Karoo 4 - and any timeline?

Hi folks, thinking about getting a Karoo as my bike computer, but wondering if, as Karoo 3 is now 2 years in, would i be better waiting for the next gen version - if there is even one in their pipeline? Or are the regular software updates keeping the 3 up there in terms of functionality?
TIA

Polar H10/H9 BLE drops on New Karoo

Ia anyone else experience drops then reconnects when using the Polar H10/9 heart rate monitors with the New Karoo?

Ive tried resetting the Karoo to factory defaults, replaced the Karoo, reset the H10/9 to factory defaults, fresh batteries for the H10/9, new heart rate straps for the H10/9 and verified the H10/9 do not have any available software updates.

The H10/9 will stay connected over ant+. I bought a garmin hrm 200 and it will stay connected to Zwift and the New Karoo over BLE.

Bike Alarm?

App/extension suggestion. Something like Dura has. Choose lock, bike moves, unit beeps like mad, alerts phone. Use pin or phone to unlock it. Be handy for cafe/gas station stops.

Karoo 3 SKS Pressure Sensors

Hi, I have a question, I have a karoo 3 and SKS pressure sensors, but I can't connect them, is there any chance that they would work with karoo 3 at all. I will add that everything works on the phone, but the Garmin 1050 does not detect sensors either.

Garmin Stamina Page for the Karoo

I am looking to setup the same page on my Karoo. I used it all the time for my endurance events. I asked AI to help me setup for the karoo. It mentioned "Advanced Metrics" I dont seem to have that option. Here is what it suggests.

Alright — this is the full, correct, “if Advanced Metrics were enabled” setup for your Karoo 3 to perfectly mimic Garmin Stamina.
This is the exact page you would build once your firmware exposes:

  • W’ Balance (%)
  • HR Decoupling (%)
  • Time to Exhaustion (FTP / Tempo / VO2)
  • Model‑based power fields

I’ll give you the exact layout, exact fields, and exact menu paths so you can build it the moment the metrics unlock.

🚴‍♂️ THE TRUE GARMIN STAMINA PAGE — KAROO 3 VERSION (WITH ADVANCED METRICS)

This is the closest 1:1 functional clone of Garmin’s Stamina % + Potential % + Time Remaining.

Use a 2×3 layout (6 fields).

🔶 TOP ROW — Garmin Stamina % + Potential %

1. W’ Balance (%)

Menu path:
Data Field → Power → W’ Balance (%)

This is your short‑term stamina — identical to Garmin’s Stamina %.

2. Heart Rate Decoupling (%)

Menu path:
Data Field → Heart Rate → HR Decoupling (%)

This is your long‑term stamina — identical to Garmin’s Potential %.

🔶 MIDDLE ROW — Garmin Time Remaining

3. Time to Exhaustion @ FTP

Menu path:
Data Field → Power → Time to Exhaustion (FTP)

This is Garmin’s “Time Remaining at Current Effort.”

4. Time to Exhaustion @ Tempo

Menu path:
Data Field → Power → Time to Exhaustion (Tempo)

This is Garmin’s “Potential Time Remaining.”

🔶 BOTTOM ROW — Garmin’s Internal Pacing Inputs

5. 3s Power

Menu path:
Data Field → Power → 3s Power

Garmin uses this internally to drive stamina modeling.

6. Lap NP

Menu path:
Data Field → Power → Lap Normalized Power

This approximates Garmin’s rolling power model.

🧭 HOW TO BUILD IT (Step‑by‑Step)

On your Karoo 3:

  1. Profiles
  2. Select your endurance/Z2 profile
  3. Data Pages → Add Page
  4. Choose 2×3 layout
  5. Assign fields in this exact order:

Top Left: W’ Balance (%)
Top Right: HR Decoupling (%)

Middle Left: Time to Exhaustion @ FTP
Middle Right: Time to Exhaustion @ Tempo

Bottom Left: 3s Power
Bottom Right: Lap NP

  1. Turn on Zone Colors for HR and Power where available
  2. Save the page as “Stamina (Advanced)”

🔥 What this gives you (identical to Garmin Stamina)

Short‑term stamina

W’ Balance (%)

Long‑term stamina

HR Decoupling (%)

Time remaining at current effort

TTE @ FTP

Potential time remaining

TTE @ Tempo

Effort modeling inputs

3s Power + Lap NP

This is the full Garmin Stamina experience, rebuilt with Karoo’s Advanced Metrics engine.
