I had read plenty of reviews and watched videos.

I won't be looking at little dots on my Garmin 1030 to monitor approaching cars. The beep is the critical warning for me. The standard beep is not sufficient for my riding. I am not deaf or hard of hearing, I tend to ride much faster than most riders and the wind noise makes it difficult to hear Garmin's anemic beep.
If you have information contrary, please let me know.
How hard would it have been for Garmin to provide a volume setting and a selectable tone for something as important as the warning of an approaching vehicle
