ShareSyncGo draws a live breadcrumb trail of your walk or ride on your Garmin watch. Share an address from Apple Maps or Google Maps → straight to your Garmin, with turn arrows and the distance to the next maneuver layered on top. Your phone stays in your pocket. WHY SHARESYNCGO • Breadcrumb trail on the watch — see exactly where you have been. The path you walked or rode is drawn behind you, so you can retrace your steps or spot when you have drifted off-route at a glance. • Works with the watches you already own — Fenix, Forerunner, Edge, Venu, vívoactive, Instinct, Epix, and more (any Connect IQ device). • Share to start. Send an address from Maps, Google Maps → pick walk or bike → go. • Real turn-by-turn — not just a compass bearing. Arrows, street names, and the exact distance to the next turn. • Smart haptics. Customizable vibration patterns for turns, arrival, and session start/stop so you can keep your eyes up. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pair your Garmin watch with Garmin Connect Mobile. 2. Share a destination to ShareSyncGo from Apple Maps or Google Maps, or pick a place inside the app. 3. Choose walking or cycling and tap Start. 4. Follow the turns on your wrist. Your phone can stay locked. SUPPORTED WATCHES Any Garmin watch that supports Connect IQ apps, including: Fenix 6 / 7 / 8 series · Forerunner 255 / 265 / 955 / 965 · Edge 530 / 540 / 830 / 840 / 1030 / 1040 / 1050 · Venu 2 / 3 · vívoactive 4 / 5 · Instinct 2 / 3 · Epix · Enduro · MARQ · Descent G1 / Mk3. PRIVACY ShareSyncGo runs on-device. Locations are used only to compute and follow your route; nothing is sent to our servers. No analytics, no ads, no third-party SDKs collecting your trips. REQUIREMENTS • iPhone running iOS 17 or later. • A Garmin watch paired through Garmin Connect Mobile. • The free ShareSyncGo companion app installed on the watch (one tap from Connect IQ Store). Made by a small team that walks and cycles for fun, and got tired of pulling the phone out at every corner. Feedback and feature requests are welcome — write to us through the in-app support link.
