## Key points

- Garmin LiveTrack can alert Waze drivers to nearby cyclists.
- The feature is optional and stops when the ride ends.
- Waze says cyclists’ names, identities and routes are not shared.

## Summary

Garmin and Waze have introduced an integration that alerts drivers to nearby cyclists using Garmin’s optional LiveTrack feature. It aims to improve cyclist awareness on the road, including on longer rides where dedicated bike lanes may be scarce.

Cyclists can enable LiveTrack on a Garmin smartwatch or Edge bike computer; Waze then shows drivers an alert and a moving cyclist icon as they approach. Sharing ends when the ride is stopped, and Waze says it does not disclose the cyclist’s name, identity or route. LiveTrack can also share a user’s location with chosen contacts.
