[CARETTA NAVIGATION KIT]
We pushed the Caretta Navigation Kit to its absolute limits in the Dinaric Alps. In the high-stakes, technical terrain of the Bosnia Rally, navigation failure was not an option.
- // High-Performance Hardware: Engineered for extreme-environment reliability.
- // Smart Cradle: Vibration-damped, field-proven mounting security.
- // Total Integration: Seamless interface for the modern rally cockpit.
- // Reliability: The indestructible alternative to generic electronics.

- FW updates are now optional - user can defer the FW update
- Controller connectivity routine optimization
v2.2861: August 2024
- FW update - new front wheel sensor implementation (sometimes wheel "ticks" were filtered out by operating system, causing the distance to be short of reality)
- Calimoto profile updated to work with recent Calimoto app update
- Waze profile improved
v2.2858: July 2024
- FW update pulled for Terrain Command II units running FW version 14 and lower (the update was causing connectivity issues on initial hardware variant of the controller). If you are interested in the update on your Terrain Command II unit and FW update is not offered by the up-to-date version of the Controller app, please contact support.
v2.9853: May 2024

v1.20 (public beta):
date: 260329
- Implementation of BMW Multicontroller (AKA Wonderwheel) on the Caretta GPS system
- Implementation of firmware updates for Caretta and Caretta Cradle
v1.09 (public beta):
date: 251204
- Global settings take effect in all GPS navigation apps (rally apps like Terrapirata are left in default)
- Global settings / App specific settings logic: Global settings customization overrides default App specific settings. Customization of App specific settings override everything else. I.e. Global settings take effect for all GPS navigation apps, but leave you the choice to define something else for a specific app.
- UI navigation fixes
- power optimization - ODO tracking can be completely disabled when NGH is on the background to save battery (good especially for cell phones used as EDC devices)
- lot's under the hood, but you get to taste the actual fruits of that labor later;-)
v1.08 (public beta):
date: 251027
- implementation of dual external tripmaster setup
- implementation of toggle switches for Tripmaster hub
- known bugs: Global settings do not take effect - each app needs to be configured individually. Working on it
v1.06 (public beta):
date: 250913
- Full controller customization - assign any function to any button / joystic
- Complete freedom in customizing controls for each supported app individually
- Media keys
- Possibility to assign keycodes from a complete alphanumerical keyboard to any button / joystic
- Possiblity to pair multiple controllers on one device (Controller app limitation to a single controller is no more)
- Integrates all functions of Controller app - Controller app is now obsolete a will no longer be supported
- Support for a bunch of new apps
v0.82:
- Offline Maps
- Track Export/Import
- New Roadbook screen configuration options
- External Tripmaster Control via Carpe Iter Controllers
- General improvements and bug fixes
v0.60:
- Button Configuration Options:
Global Settings and App-Specific Settings.
Currently, the TerraPirata app is supported. More apps coming soon! - more control for track recording
- Life Log function - coarse track is recorded continuously on the background - always know where you've been even if you forget to turn on track recording manually. Location history filtering will come soon (e.g. filter by dates).
- New Home screen
- PDF roadbook reader
- OpenRally roadbook reader with automatic waypoint opening and validation. Automatic penalties for manual waypoint opening and waypoint missed according to FIM rules already implemented. TODO: more complex penalties such as exceeding speed limits still under construction. OpenRally roadbook is not connected to external infrastructure and is only intended as a training tool. Build OpenRally roadbooks with RallyNavigator software (https://www.rallynavigator.com/index.html). Our roadbook works with format compatible with TerraPirata roadbook app.

There is a lot in our pipeline for GPS navigation devices and we will be covering more details as we are nearing the release.
At the moment we are focusing on a smaller 6-inch version of Caretta. Same functionality in a smaller body.
Stay tuned!
Auto-start feature is implemented on Manager app version 6.03. Operating system update is required for the feature to work.
