You can now share your trips and real-time location with your family and friends directly from the Google Maps app for Android and iOS.
While it may sound creepy to some, but with the privacy options, this feature could be useful for those who no longer have to leave the app to share their location with their friends. Facebook already has a “nearby” feature that works similarly. The blog states,
““Where are you now?” and “What’s your ETA?” Whether you’re heading to a party or meeting up for dinner, you probably hear questions like this pretty often from family and friends. Soon Google Maps users worldwide will be able to answer those questions in just a few taps, without ever leaving the app.”
You can share your real-time location with your Google contacts, share with friends and family by sending a link on your messenger apps. When you’re sharing your location, the people you’ve chosen to share with will see you on their map.
You can share your real-time location and trip progress from navigation as well.
This feature is slowly rolling out globally to both Android and iOS. The people you share with will be able to see your location on Android, iPhone, mobile web, and even desktop.
