Let your friends and family know where you are and when you'll get there, right from Google Maps.
While it is true that Google took care to give the user full and transparent control over whether they share their location and who they share it with, it’s not hard to imagine scenarios where location sharing can be a problem.
Google is adding a real-time location sharing function to Google Maps that can be very useful. It can also be restrictive and annoying or, in a worst-case scenario, potentially abusive and controlling.
Location sharing with Google Maps is easy to use and manage
You can share your location for time periods ranging from 15 minutes to three days. There’s also an option to share until you turn the function off. If you select this option, Google will send you an email every few weeks as a reminder that someone knows where you are all day every day.
