  "account": "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.",
