Waze has introduced real-time alerts to notify drivers when cyclists are nearby along their navigation route, according to reports from MacRumors, Engadget, and Analytics Insight.[1][2][5][6]

The new integration connects Waze navigation with Garmin's optional LiveTrack location-sharing tool. When active, Garmin users can share their live cycling coordinates to help motorists spot riders approaching or traveling along the same roadway.[2][3][5]

Within the Waze interface, drivers receive an on-screen "Cyclists ahead" pop-up notification paired with a bicycle marker directly on the route map.[1][4]
