Google Maps Latest News & Updates: Share Your Real Time Location; It’s Google VS Apple Maps

The Google Maps team is pretty active these days.  Recently the team launched a feature which helps users to mark their parked car on the maps and can also check out the distance from the car. Now, Google has shared a new feature which enables users to share the real-time maps with friends.

Now you can share your real-time location with your friends through Google Maps. This is quite a cool feature to share your location with friends and families. They can follow you easily with the help of this interesting feature.

Google Maps have made it very easy to share your real-time location in just two clicks. All you need is just to open the side menu or tap on the blue dot indicating where you are and you will see a new "Share Location" option. Then you just need to pick those people whom you wanted to share your location. Only your selected people will be able to see where you are in a real time right now on their own Google Maps app.

You can even set time limit or you can even set your location to be shared permanently with certain people. Furthermore, you can even share your progress while navigating. And Google Maps even provided an option to add your location as a link in WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger too.

This is really a very useful feature implemented in Google Maps. With this feature, it is possible that Google Maps can overtake Apple Maps. Previously Apple Maps enabled its users to add a note or photos on maps in order to remember their location including their parked car. But with this new feature of Google Maps is a way smarter and better to the users.

You can use Google Maps in pretty interesting ways like checking the real time location of your traveling friends to make sure no one gets lost. You can easily let your friends know what you are up to without constantly updating your location. Google is planning to roll out this innovative feature soon to your Android devices.
