LiveTrack Contacts Data Grab

I am very disappointed in the changes Garmin has made to the Farmin Connect App. In order to continue use the Livetrack feature you have to sign over the access to all your contacts. This is nothing sort of a bulling data grab and Garmin should be assamed of this new policy.

Not only that, but I don’t seem to have a way to even allow this. When I go to my iOS settings there’s no contacts option for Connect.

Matthew,

That doesn't require Garmin to access and store all a user's contacts. Garmin has a contact tab in settings.

I can run your APP in a Samsung secure folder as to not expose any unneeded contacts.

I don't know what Garmin's purpose in requiring this is, and live track has been around for years, prior to needing this new data access.

I know a lot of upset riders in my club that will no loner use Garmin
