NOTE: Incident detection is available only for outdoor walk, run, and bike activities.
When an incident is detected by your Forerunner device with GPS enabled, the Garmin Connect app can send an automated text message and email with your name and GPS location to your emergency contacts. A message appears indicating your contacts will be informed after 30 seconds have elapsed. You can select Cancel before the countdown is complete to cancel the message.
