Garmin’s New Varia RearVue 820 In-Depth Review: Worth the upgrade?
· Reported by DC Rainmaker
After nearly 6 years , we finally get a new Garmin radar, the Varia RearVue 820, which brings with a host of new features…and USB-C. Finally, USB-C to their base radar (only their camera edition had it previously). The new unit increases vehicle detection claims to 170m, though far higher in real life, and increases battery life claims to upwards of 30 hours (depending on mode). Did I mention USB-C? It also adds a brake light, adds steady-state traffic tracking, and lets you see the size of vehicles (e.g., truck vs moto).
