Safety and Tracking Features

Incident detection and assistance are supplemental features and
should not be relied on as a primary method to obtain
emergency assistance. The Garmin Connect app does not
contact emergency services on your behalf.
The vívoactive device has safety and tracking features that must
be set up with the Garmin Connect app.
To use these features, you must be connected to the Garmin
Connect app using Bluetooth technology. You can enter
emergency contacts in your Garmin Connect account.
For more information about incident detection and assistance,
go to www.garmin.com/safety.
Assistance: Allows you to send an automated message with
your name, LiveTrack link, and GPS location to your
emergency contacts.
Incident detection: When the vívoactive device detects an
incident during an outdoor walk, run, or bike activity, the
device sends an automated message, LiveTrack link, and
GPS location to your emergency contacts.
LiveTrack: Allows friends and family to follow your races and
training activities in real time. You can invite followers using
email or social media, allowing them to view your live data on
a Garmin Connect tracking page.
