if you mean “adb” as in developers tools - yes it does. I’m sure there’s an app that leverages that to move files somewhere. I’ll look into it tonight. Using adb is how I loaded Osmand and Komoot. The Syncios backup software uses that method.
Karoo has a great screen, terrible nav software, and the computer software is like a buggy Edge 520 but improving fairly quickly. Osmand and Komoot for navigation just kill any nav software out there including Garmin for map quality. So for touring, that’s my choice but only because of ability to sideload. I bought in this spring and spring 2019 is a better bet presuming the startup makes it.
