Yes, you can setup who it will alert when you are lost.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Incident detection is a supplemental feature primarily designed for road use. Incident detection should not be relied on as a primary method to obtain emergency assistance. The Garmin Connect™ app does not contact emergency services on your behalf. When an incident is detected by your Garmin compatible 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 on your device and paired smartphone indicating your contacts will be informed after 30 seconds have elapsed. If assistance is not needed, you can cancel the automated emergency message. Before you can enable incident detection on your device, you must set up emergency contact information in the Garmin Connect app. Your paired smartphone must be equipped with a data plan and be in an area of network coverage where data is available. Your emergency contacts must be able to receive text messages (standard text messaging rates may apply). Incident detection is available only for outdoor walk, run, and bike activities. When an incident is detected by your fēnix® 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.
