Now my Google Maps app showing real-time location sharing

I am happy to write here regarding Google Maps real-time location sharing, including navigation routes.

Google maps location sharing would allow you to easily share your current position momentarily or indefinitely with select people. Now i saw it on my Google maps app.

The location-sharing feature only works if you decide to share your current location with a specific person, and you can limit how long a friend sees your location. Ideally, this will provide Google Maps users with a handy way to let their friends know how close, or far away, they are from a rendez-vous — and just how late they really will be.

 

Here's a look at how it works:

The new feature looks simple enough to use, requiring only that you tap the blue dot that indicates your location and then select "share my location."

You can share your location with anyone in your Google Contacts list, regardless of whether they are on iOS, Android or on a computer. You will also have the option to bypass Google Contacts and copy a link to send to any recipient.

You will be able to set a time limit on how long you are sharing your location, and the app will notify you that your location is being shared whenever you are in it, so that you don't inadvertently forget.

And if you're using Google Maps for driving directions, the update will allow you to share your location and route with whoever you want, providing them with an up-to-date ETA.
