The two companies are introducing an opt-in integration designed to increase cyclist safety by sharing real-time cycling alerts directly with drivers. Cyclists using Garmin LiveTrack on a compatible Garmin Edge bike computer or smartwatch can broadcast a dynamic, moving icon to nearby Waze drivers. The hope is that drivers using Waze will see the notice about a nearby cyclist and slow down. The feature is rolling out now to iOS and Android users.
