Will Waze drivers see me on their map?

Only if Garmin builds the first version and you switch it on. The code includes a consent step before any sharing starts.

Will it work without my phone?

Probably not, unless you have an LTE Garmin. LiveTrack sends your position through your phone’s data connection or a watch’s own LTE, and this would most likely work the same way.

Does Waze have a bike mode?

No. Waze is built for cars and, since July 2026, motorbikes, and it doesn’t navigate bike lanes. A Garmin link would put riders on drivers’ maps rather than route them.
