Dashboard Software Build Version: 0.9.11

Release Date: April 2, 2018

Improvements and Enhancements:

• Dashboard Route Builder and Karoo Routes app now use same routing system, providing better syncing and improved cycling-specific routing.

Bug Fixes:

• When linking a TrainingPeaks account, if the user declines to grant Hammerhead access, UI now returns them to the Dashboard Settings page.
• In Route Builder, show the user an error message if the routing system cannot find a route because it would be too long (greater than 400km/250mi or 750km/466mi, depending on bike routing type).

As ever, our community’s use of our Karoo Feedback Portal (to report bugs/problems) and our Community Forum (to suggest feature additions or enhancements) is tremendously helpful. Thank you for using these tools. We are listening!

Cheers,
