Garmin now offers Garmin Connect+, a premium plan that provides new features and even more personalized insights in the Garmin Connect™ smartphone app. Garmin Connect+ is designed to elevate a customer’s health and fitness knowledge with personalized Active Intelligence insights powered by AI, expert training guidance, exclusive badge challenges, expanded LiveTrack features and more. All existing features and data in Garmin Connect will remain free.
The plans will run $6.99/month (or $69/year) which seems very reasonable, but this is still the early stages. You can select and activate your membership in the Garmin app.

We are excited to provide even more personalized data and enriched features with the addition of Garmin Connect+. You can now learn even more about yourself, take on new challenges, train confidently and stay even more connected.” –Susan Lyman, Garmin Vice President of Consumer Sales and Marketing
