Cyclists using Garmin could soon be safer with live location sharing on Waze
The feature could arrive with Garmin Connect 5.31.
An APK teardown of Garmin Connect 5.31 has revealed a new feature that could soon make cyclists safer by sharing their live location with Waze. This feature allows a cyclist using LiveTrack to share their position on the Waze map, alerting drivers to their presence and potentially preventing accidents. Garmin LiveTrack is a free service, but it is unclear if this new feature will require a Garmin Connect Plus subscription.
Cyclists and drivers often find themselves at odds in a space designed primarily for one or the other, leading to frustration, confrontations, and sometimes tragedy. Garmin’s LiveTrack feature, accessible through the Garmin Connect app, provides real-time location information for those wearing a Garmin device, sharing it with friends and family.
An APK teardown of Garmin Connect 5.31 by Gadgets & Wearables has discovered options within the app for sharing a cyclist's location with Waze, including "Share location with Waze," "Share your rides with Waze," and "Waze location sharing." This feature is specifically designed for cyclists, with language indicating that LiveTrack-equipped cyclists can share their location with Waze users.
