Industry-first collaboration alerts drivers using the Waze app to nearby Garmin cyclists

OLATHE, Kan., Nov. 10, 2026 — Garmin (NYSE: GRMN) today announced a first-of-its-kind collaboration with Waze™, the community-driven navigation app used by 200 million drivers around the world. Cyclists using a compatible Garmin Edge® bike computer or Garmin smartwatch can now share their LiveTrack™ locations1 for outdoor cycling activities and it will show up as a real-time alert for drivers using the Waze mobile app.

Industry-first collaboration alerts drivers using the Waze app to nearby Garmin cyclists.

"Garmin is well-known in the cycling industry for its safety-focused products and features, and we are excited to work with Waze to bring this unique feature to cyclists and drivers alike. By increasing awareness between cyclists and motorists, this new tool is designed to foster a safer riding environment for Garmin customers by giving drivers valuable real-time visibility to their whereabouts, helping to create a more connected experience for everyone on the road."
—Susan Lyman, Garmin Vice President of Consumer Sales and Marketing 

"Safety is a top priority for Waze, and we're excited to collaborate with Garmin to help keep cyclists safer on the road. By bringing Live Cycling Alerts to Waze, we're giving drivers a helpful heads-up so they can slow down, stay aware and safely share the road."
—Gai Berkovich, VP and GM of Waze

Enhanced visibility on the road

  • Cyclists can opt-in via Garmin Connect™ to share their LiveTrack location with Waze drivers when they start an outdoor cycling activity. Location sharing is temporary and session-based, and the cyclist's personal information will not be shared or displayed in Waze.
  • Waze shows Live Cycling Alerts when a Garmin cyclist is nearby as active, moving icons on the road.

The benefit of Garmin LiveTrack

LiveTrack is a free feature for Garmin users with a compatible bike computer or smartwatch. Users can enable live location sharing and give their close family and friends the ability to track their real-time location, speed, course plans and more as they are off on their adventures. This collaboration brings greater peace of mind to cyclists by extending the benefit of LiveTrack to motorists using Waze for greater awareness of their surroundings.
