Garmin Live Tracking Overview
Garmin Live Tracking enables users to share real-time location data during activities using compatible devices. The feature requires pairing with the Garmin Connect app or Wi-Fi for standalone functionality. Users activate it through device settings or the app’s activity-tracking interface. It transmits location updates to predefined contacts via email or SMS. Some models support direct sharing through third-party platforms like WhatsApp.
