  "account": "Waze and Garmin seem to be collaborating on a new integration that could potentially display cyclists on navigation systems. The Garmin Connect app, in its latest version (v5.31), hints at a new feature called \"Waze Location Sharing.\" This feature allows cyclists to share their rides with Waze. At present, the specifics are still unclear, but early code suggests that Waze will utilize Garmin's LiveTrack location data to display nearby drivers the whereabouts of cyclists, potentially to help drivers exercise caution around cyclists. Cyclists would need to manually enable this feature. It remains uncertain how cyclists will be depicted on Waze. Given that Waze currently lists road hazards, it is plausible that a notification might appear if a driver is approaching an intersection or location with a nearby cyclist. As for a specific release date or timeline, this is difficult to determine. Features that appear in app code are often at an early stage, and without frequent monitoring of Garmin’s Connect app, there is no established pattern to predict the typical time between code appearance and release. For further updates, follow Ben on Twitter/X, Threads, Bluesky, and Instagram. Check out 9to5Google on YouTube for more news.",
