Garmin Edge 820 get a welcome firmware boost

Garmin Edge 820 Varia RTL 500 HRM-RUN

A few annoying little foibles on the Garmin Edge 820 have been squashed with the latest v3.20 firmware.

My wifi software update kept getting stuck on the home page – not any more. Sometimes it was tricky navigating back onto a course – not any more. Panic at home as I DIDN’T have an accident – not any more.

You get the picture, here’s the list:

  • Improved grade calculation.
  • Improved interaction with Varia Vision.
  • Improved Incident Detection to decrease false reports and fixed an issue causing it to be re-enabled unexpectedly.
  • Added support for routing back to a Course after leaving it.
  • Added Distance and Time Ahead/Behind as configurable data fields.
  • Made improvements to the FTP Test.
  • Added Saved Locations to Course Creator and Round Trip Course menus.
  • Added the ability to navigate to a Segment.
  • Fixed an issue preventing software updates from the About page.
