I have been using the Karoo on the road and in the forest for 2 months and approx. 1000 km. The navigation has worked perfectly so far. The display is fun: high resolution, pleasant size and you can recognise everything you need and have enough setting options to adapt it to your needs. The battery life with "standard" settings and several connected sensors (cadence, heart rate, SRAM AXS) and mobile phone is approx. 10-12 hours even in cold temperatures and can allegedly be extended to 35 hours if necessary. The internal memory is generously dimensioned. The connection to the sensors works straight away. The connection to Komoot and the synchronisation of maps or activities with Strava & Co works perfectly. So far there have been two updates with useful new features - I hope this continues... One minus point for me is the mount. The Karoo mount is very fiddly to remove. However, an adapter for a Garmin/Sigma holder is supplied. This means it works "as usual" if you are using a Sigma/Garmin. Another drawback is the excessively loud signal tone, e.g. for turn-by-turn directions, which cannot be turned down. I have deactivated it completely - fortunately it works. All in all, I can cope with the two negative points and the advantages clearly outweigh them.
My previous experience is a Garmin Etrex H so the leap has been abysmal. For me everything is positive except that I miss a silicone case, bought in a different shop (it would be nice if you offered it in Mantel) because I see the screen sensitive to breakage to blows in the frames. I hope it lasts like the EtreX and I took it off out of boredom rather than because it stops working ;) It's going to be used not only for cycling but also for Indoor with smartbike and trail running.
I already had the Karoo 1 and 2, now the Karoo 3 - simply the best in every respect
