Garmin could be working on a Waze feature that warns drivers about cyclists
Garmin users might soon have the option to give Waze drivers a heads-up about their current location.
Garmin may be developing a Waze feature that notifies drivers of cyclists. According to Gadgets & Wearables, hidden code in the latest Garmin Connect app update suggests this could be an imminent launch. The feature would allow cyclists to share their location with Waze users, but only when using the LiveTrack feature for an activity.
This opt-in feature would help improve road safety by making cyclists more visible to drivers. Waze already relies heavily on user contributions, so this new functionality could make journeys safer for cyclists and drivers alike, particularly on challenging roads or in low-visibility conditions. It's unclear which Garmin devices will support this feature, but the integration with Google Maps is also a possibility if the technology proves successful.
