Waze’s new cyclist alerts start with Garmin riders opting in

Waze and Garmin are rolling out cyclist alerts globally on Android and iOS. Garmin LiveTrack riders can opt into appearing as moving icons. Google says nearby drivers receive notifications without seeing riders’ names, identities or exact routes, and alerts stop when riders end their rides on Garmin devices. It’s a heads-up about participating cyclists, not a map of everyone on two wheels.
