Dear Morten Ji,
It’s an iOS feature yet to roll out on Android…I strongly believe.
Thanks dear @wilfriedb for your kind response…:handshake::gift_heart:

You’re absolutely right! While sharing a link directly would be the most straightforward method, using a screenshot to share location data is actually quite convenient in its own way. It allows for quick access to the information without needing to navigate through menus and can be especially useful when you’re on the go or using apps that don’t natively support sharing links. It’s a simple, accessible workaround that works well in many situations!

Live location sharing is a relatively old feature. I have used it s lot. It is really helpful when a group of people roam around and let others know where you are at.

@Trail_blazer, I think you are right. Why the heck share a screenshot when a link to a location on Maps does the trick much better.

I somewhat remember telling you that Indians are big buff about searching Google and YouTube using voice commands. They are also a lot into live location and place sharing feature. They do it a lot on WhatsApp. Sometimes it stuns me that they have gotten good heck of doing it so easily despite not being tech savvy. And Yeah when sharing location is so easy why take ss and share location from it😀

You are right @Trail_blazer
During the Meetup at Google’s office in Delhi, they officially announced that India is their largest market for Google Maps and also the largest number of searches on Google Maps happen in India.
The official number is 70 million route searches per year - the highest in the World.

Thanks for confirming Tushar Bhai
Btw I was telling from real life experience :grinning: I see my parents using voice commands and endless such examples from rural area too where people are so used to voice searches. And Google has refined this feature and curated so good that it has become a goto feature here in India.
