Hammerhead Karoo 3 Xert

I also miss the MPA on the latest Karoo, very useful on outside rides.

I have been disappointed that only MPA and XSS have been available as data fields on Karoo 2 - and I am not going to upgrade to new Karoo untill it will offer a better integration with Xert than what we have on Karoo 2.

Another +1 user here. I want to see MPA data fields in my KAROO 3. Hammerhead have put the ‘invite’ out to companies and developers to submit working Apps/date fields, yet XERT seem to slow on the uptake. Hoping this is sorted soon as I love my K3, XERT and deliberately avoid Garmin to fly against the wind.

Same here - would love to see Xert data on my Karoo 3. Adding a graph field showing the MPA graph (purple line), and some sort of indication when a breakthrough happens would be fantastic.

Hammerhead’s “extensions” seems like a testing ground at the moment.
Ideally the Karoo Store would be part of the equation in the future.
Perhaps HH is waiting to see what apps are most popular through the API first.

My n=1 guess is the following timetable develops over the upcoming months –

  1. The official stable version of Magic Buckets is released for Garmin Connect IQ. Old version of XSS Buckets is retired. [DONE]
  2. Xert Dashboard is updated and official version released.
  3. Xert moves on to coding XO players and EBC updates with XMB features and XFAI support starting with Android then iOS.
  4. If the updated EBC Android app works well with K3 the problem is solved. :slight_smile:
    If not, Dashboard and Magic Buckets editions for Karoo are a possibility since they includes all the important data fields and functionality.

WOTD could be added to K3 at anytime if Hammerhead provided this function themselves using Xert’s WOTD API. Would that be useful for many K users or is it not a big deal?
If Hammerhead is unlikely to do this, could a coder-on-bike provide this function by posting their project on Github? Any takers? :slight_smile:

+1 for Xert datafields on the Karoo 3 
 Actually getting rid of all my Garmin devices. Feels good after “years of dependence”
