All good.



I've had Karoo's since they first came out from the Kickstarter campaign and I've been a tester for quite a while. I think it's a great product. It fits my use case perfectly too. What I really like is that I side loaded a weather radar app (it's running on straight up Android). I can connect the K2 to the internet through my phone and so I can get realtime weather radar on my bike computer while I'm riding with my position shown. In the spring when the weather here is unstable, that's pretty handy for riding around rain squalls. You can also put a sim card in it and skip the phone. I've been contemplating that too.

They've done a nice job with it - you can get audio turn by turn directions out of it with a BT speaker or ear bud (which I very much like). Lots of features like that really refine the bike computer experience especially if you're navigating with it. Their Varia implementation is best in class over even Garmin IMO.
