Waze Adds Alerts for Cyclists Using Garmin LiveTrack
Waze and Garmin have added cycling alerts to help drivers notice cyclists on the road.
Cyclists can opt in by turning on Garmin LiveTrack on a Garmin smartwatch or Edge bike computer.
Their moving icon appears temporarily in Waze, and drivers receive an alert when a cyclist is nearby.
The feature is designed to help drivers slow down, stay aware and share the road.
Waze does not show cyclists’ names, identities or exact routes, and alerts stop when a ride ends.
The feature is rolling out globally to Waze on iOS and Android.
