Starting a GroupTrack Session
NOTICE
Your paired phone must be equipped with a data plan and be in an area of network coverage where data is
available.
Before you can start a GroupTrack session, you must pair the watch with a compatible phone (Pairing Your
Phone, page94).
These instructions are for starting a GroupTrack session with a fēnix watch. If your connections have other
compatible devices, you can see them on the map. The other devices may not be able to display GroupTrack
riders on the map.
1 On the fēnix watch, hold MENU, and select Safety & Tracking > GroupTrack > Show on Map to enable
viewing connections on the map screen.
2 In the Garmin Connect app, from the settings menu, select Safety & Tracking > LiveTrack > > Settings >
GroupTrack.
3 Select All Connections or Invite Only and select your connections.
4 Select Start LiveTrack.
5 On the watch, start an outdoor activity.
6 Scroll to the map to view your connections.
TIP: From the map, you can hold MENU and select Nearby Connections to view distance, direction, and pace
or speed information for other connections in the GroupTrack session.
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.
• Start your activity outside using GPS.
• Pair your fēnix device with your smartphone using Bluetooth technology.
• 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 (40km or 25mi.).
• During a GroupTrack session, scroll to the map to view your connections (Adding a Map to an Activity,
page31).
