Find My Phone During a GPS Activity
During any GPS activity with your
compatible Garmin® watch
, an enhanced Find My Phone tool automatically monitors whether your phone is connected and stores the location should your phone get disconnected or lost. This feature can notify you that your phone is no longer detected, and help you easily navigate back to where it was last connected to your watch.
How It Works
While recording a GPS activity the watch will alert you if you have been disconnected from your phone for a period of time if the following requirements have been met.
Your phone must have been connected through the Garmin Connect™ app at the beginning of the activity.
The activity timer must have been running for at least 2 minutes.
You must be at least 100 meters away from your start point.
These requirements prevent an alert from coming up if you were to leave your phone at the start of your activity.
NOTE: For iOS users, if the Garmin Connect app has been fully closed, the Find My Phone feature will not work, as it requires that the Garmin Connect app be open or running in the background. For details, see Some Garmin Connect App Features Are Not Working On My iOS Device.
