Edge Radar Speed Overlay #1
· v4.7
About
RADAR VEHICLE SPEED NOW ENABLED FOR VARIA REARVIEW 820 RADAR! But keep in mind: only one datafield can connect to the BLE Radar at once! You have then to chose which datafield is the most important to you! And boot your Edge after selecting BLE Radar in the settings!
The EDGE Radar Speed Overlay data field offers the option of displaying the radar vehicle speed of the approaching vehicle on one of many selectable standard field options. The appearance of the data field is therefore adapted to the respective original Garmin data fields.
The data field recognizes whether a radar device is paired and shows the readiness to display the vehicle speed with a small orange dot in the top right corner. Without orange dot - no speed overlay!
The radar overlay can be switched off in the settings.
How to change settings: https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=TMj0wxIdjh382mBFh5rG46
You can define an optional alternative field in the settings, which displays on screen tap on touchscreen devices. Other devices change the field option every 10 seconds.
Some options - such as Grade, ETA or Gear Shift for mechanical shifters (only one chainring!) - use their own algorithms and can therefore be used as an alternative to the original field.
