Tips for GroupTrack Sessions
The GroupTrack feature allows you to keep track of other connections in your group using LiveTrack directly on
the screen. All members of the group must be your connections in your Garmin Connect account.

• In the Garmin Connect app, from the settings menu, select Connections to update the list of connections for
your GroupTrack session.
• Make sure all of your connections pair to their smartphones and start a LiveTrack session in the Garmin
Connect app.
• Make sure all your connections are in range (40 km or 25 mi.).
• During a GroupTrack session, scroll to the map to view your connections (Adding a Map to an Activity,
page 84).
Music
NOTE: This section is about three different music playback options.
• Third-party provider music
• Personal audio content
• Music stored on your phone
On a Forerunner device, you can download audio content to your device from your computer or from a third-
party provider, so you can listen when your smartphone is not nearby. To listen to audio content stored on your
device, you must connect headphones with Bluetooth technology.
You can also control music playback on your paired smartphone using your device.
