Find my Garmin - "forced beep" from Garmin Connect

Former Member over 7 years ago

Recently during a race, I tried to switch the screen on my Edge 520 and it fell off the front mount - unfortunately into high grass. I spent 35 minutes searching it (drawing zones of lost Bluetooth connection, searching in the middle etc.). Finally found it.
I was able to get a connection from my Garmin Connect on a phone, but Garmin wasn't beeping even receiving SMS messages as I disabled sound on it.
I think there should be some kind of "forced beep", that could be invoked from Garmin Connect. It would make searching your device in a bush much easier ;-)

This is a great idea! +1

Find my Garmin.
Where's the Edge?
Where's my Head(unit)?
Hot or Not, Garmin-Style.

I'll advance this with the idea of customizable tones - I'm thinking the ring-tone from the Geico commercial would be fantastic. Ring-a-ding-ding-dong!

Seriously, this is a fantastic idea, and shouldn't be too tough to implement, given that the reverse is already available - wearables already have the capability of locating a phone.
