Garmin - How to add a privacy zone

Dear Social Media,

Good morning! Have you ever wondered if you are too connected? Has your sharing been too public and far too transparent these past months? Yeah, me too! Weeks ago Garmin sent out an email about a new feature named, Privacy Zones. You can now add certain zones, addresses, even city boundary to your Garmin profile for added security and privacy when workouts are posted. Let's say for example not everyone knows I work at Simplifile.com located currently...

Simplifile
4844 North 300 West
Suite 202
Provo, Utah 84604

Now, if you log into your Garmin account - https://connect.garmin.com and the go to the Privacy Settings section you can new zones. Here's a screenshot to illustrate this awesome customization:

Ergo, when leave your zone for a run your exact start and finish points are hidden. Well, what is your reason for not leaving the house now? Call a friend, text a sibling, walk over to your neighbor and extend a face-to-face invite, and venture outside to soak in this fabulous spring weather!

Sincerely,
Orange Runner
