Garmin and Waze are rolling out an integration designed to give drivers advance notice of nearby cyclists. When a rider voluntarily shares their location through Garmin LiveTrack, Waze can use that live position to display an alert to approaching drivers.
The alerts are intended to work like Waze’s other road-hazard notifications, prompting motorists to pay closer attention and adjust their speed as they near a rider. LiveTrack sharing is enabled through the Garmin Connect app and applies during outdoor cycling activities.
The feature requires a compatible Garmin device with LiveTrack support, including Garmin Edge cycling computers and compatible Garmin smartwatches, as well as a connected smartphone to transmit the rider’s location.
Location sharing remains opt-in. Garmin says the information passed to Waze is limited to the cyclist’s position, without personal data being shared as part of the integration.
Availability is being introduced gradually, so the option may not appear immediately for every Garmin Connect user. Alerts can also vary by region, and Waze may not show them in areas where cyclists are especially common.
