Cyclists who ride with Garmin gear can now appear as live, moving icons on the Waze driving app, and nearby drivers will receive an alert to slow down and watch for them on the road.
For riders already using Garmin devices, opting in costs nothing and adds a new layer of safety, particularly on roads where drivers may not expect cyclists. The feature is rolling out now, but you should be aware of its limitations.

Garmin says this collaboration extends that peace of mind to motorists, giving them greater awareness of their surroundings.
How to use Garmin Connect's Waze feature
You'll need a few things to get this feature up and running:
A phone running Garmin Connect with a data connection
The good news is using the feature is free: LiveTrack costs nothing on compatible Garmin bike computers and watches, and Waze is free for drivers.
The limits of this new safety feature
This feature is for Waze only. Alerts reach drivers only when Waze is open on their phone. Google Maps, which has far more users, is excluded, so a large portion of the drivers you share the road with won't see you this way.
Finally, remember to treat this safety feature as an extra perk, not a guarantee. At the end of the day, it isn't a replacement for bike lights, bright clothing, and defensive riding.
