Hey all,
I recently got a Hammerhead Karoo, a Garmin 1030-type competitor which runs Android.
The default device is locked down, but it was pretty simple to sideload apps via adb, and even to unlock the bootloader, port TWRP, and install Play Services.
So of course I had to get Locus on it, and the results are amazing. The battery life, ruggedness, and quarter-turn compatibility of a real bike computer coupled with the power and customizability of Locus. Super happy with this setup, and I had to share!
Navigating with Elevate and a Strava overlay:
Using a custom screen for small displays:
Shot of a Karoo mounted to a bike: (not close to my own bike right now, so couldn't take my own picture...)
Next up is designing a custom screen/dashboard for this form factor...
