GoKawiilWaze adds Garmin LiveTrack integration to alert drivers to nearby cyclists
Waze and Garmin have partnered to let cyclists using Garmin smartwatches or Edge bike computers broadcast their location via LiveTrack directly to Waze. Drivers running Waze will get an in-app notification and see a moving icon when a cyclist with the feature enabled is nearby. The feature is opt-in, automatically deactivates when the ride ends, and Waze says it does not share the cyclist's name, identity, or route.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The integration gives cyclists, especially those riding outside bike lanes or in rural areas, an extra layer of visibility to motorists without requiring new infrastructure. It also builds on an existing use case, since many Garmin users already rely on LiveTrack to share location with friends or family during rides.
- Garmin LiveTrack now feeds cyclist location data into Waze for driver alerts.
- The feature is optional and turns off automatically when a ride ends.
- Waze states that rider identity and route details are not disclosed to drivers.
Garmin Edge 840 Bike Computer — The Edge 840 supports LiveTrack natively, letting you broadcast your ride status directly to Waze for added road safety. It's a great companion for cyclists who want turn-by-turn navigation plus the peace of mind of being visible to nearby drivers.”,
