Hammerhead Karoo 2

[Buckethead]

@The_Conductor

In order to get a route loaded, I have to have the HH connected to wifi. Fine, no problem when I’m at home, but a PITA if traveling (connect the unit to a new network) or if I’m driving somewhere to start and forget to preload the route (have to faff around with a hotspot). Similarly, your ride won’t get uploaded to Strava/TP/etc. until you’re on wifi. The integration with routing apps like RWGPS kinda sucks–have to load the route into the website (no app and the mobile site is an eyesore) and then push it to the device.

While connecting to a phone via Bluetooth is the easiest way. And I’m really shocked Hammerhead didn’t do BT. I put in a cheap data sim (less than $20 one time so far) and it solved all of these problems. Auto upload is just fine to Strava etc.

And I find the integration with RWGPS super nice - much better than my v1 Bolt. You just have to pin a route on RWGPS and it auto syncs to the K2.

I miss the TR integration a ton though. Ended up having to create workouts most days to load to my K2. Made using alternates for outside workouts this last summer a non starter unless I had time to create and push the workout….
