Segment field on the Karoo

Segment is one small field for your segments. It shows what matters right now: the next segment, how far to its start, your gap while you ride it, and how it went.

How to read it

The header names the number, so it changes as you ride.

Header	Value	When
NEXT SEGMENT	Distance to it, with its name under it	No segment close by
SEGMENT AHEAD	Distance to the start	You are close to a start
TIME TO PR	Your gap to your PR, -0:08	Riding a segment you have a PR on
TIME TO LEADER	Your gap to the leader	Riding a segment with no PR of yours
SEGMENT TIME	Your time so far	No PR and no leader time yet
NEW PR	Your new time	Just finished, faster than your PR
RESULT VS PR / RESULT VS LEADER	Your finish gap	Just finished, for 30 seconds

• Minus is ahead. -0:08 is 8 seconds ahead of your target, +0:21 is 21 seconds behind.
• Green is ahead, red is behind. The words say it too.
• The leader is the fastest NeverChill time on the segment.
• The gap paces against your real PR effort, not an even split. A segment that starts with the steep part stays fair.

Sizes

What it needs

• NeverChill Pro and a paired Karoo.
• Starred segments, or public segments near your ride. The Karoo downloads both when you open NeverChill, so open it on Wi-Fi before you ride.
• GPS. A route is not needed.

Good to know

• The Karoo matches your ride to segments on the device, so the field keeps working when the connection drops mid-ride.
• If you start offline, segments arrive once the Karoo is online.
• Using the Karoo's Strava Live Segments too? You will get two alerts and two sets of beeps on every segment. Turn one of them off. See Troubleshooting.

Tips

• Pair it with Live segment on its own page. Segment on your main page tells you something is coming; swipe to Live segment for the full picture.
