About this app

Lap Map Alert texts your chosen contacts when you start, lap, or finish a run — with optional pace, ETA, and a Google Maps link from your Garmin watch.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Install the Lap Map Alert data field on your Garmin from the Connect IQ Store.
2. Add that data field to a Run (or GPS) activity screen.
3. Install this Android app, add recipients, and turn texts ON before you start.
4. In Garmin Connect, turn Live Event Sharing OFF (More → Safety & Tracking) to avoid duplicate texts.

WHAT GETS TEXTED
You control the message: cumulative time/distance, last lap, pace/speed, estimated finish (if you set a race distance like 5K), and a maps link to your location.

REQUIREMENTS
• Garmin watch with Connect IQ
• Garmin Connect installed and paired on your phone
• Lap Map Alert watch data field installed and on your activity screen
• SMS permission (texts send from your phone/number via your carrier)

Privacy: no developer server. Recipient numbers and preferences stay on your phone. See https://mindshaft.com/lap-map-alert/privacy/
