Adding Assistance Contacts

Assistance contact phone numbers are used for the safety and tracking features. One phone number from your assistance contacts or an emergency services phone number, such as 911, can be used as your assistance calling number.

  1. From the Garmin Connect™ app, select Menu.
  2. Select Safety & Tracking > Safety Features > Assistance Contacts > Add Assistance Contact.
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Your assistance contacts receive a notification when you add them as an assistance contact, and can accept or decline your request. If a contact declines, you must choose another assistance contact.
