    Yes, so on my bike computer the radar will put dots (along with an audio queue) for each vehicle it detects. So, if there are four of them, you’ll see four dots at their respective distance from you.

    Not only that, but with a third-party app that I can install on my Garmin bike computer, the radar can capture speed data of those passing cars! It’s some very cool techn.

        I love my bike computer. Yes, you don’t “need” one, but once you start using the features like navigation, fitness tracking, and have it as a tool to better your health, it becomes incredibly valuable.

        I prefer it over using my phone as a navigation device for more than a few reasons 😀

          I have a Garmin watch and it’s been pretty solid so I’m kinda sold on them as a company between my experience with the watch and the computer reviews.
