How to share location on Google Maps
As we are facing a very simple to use application, following these simple steps that I am going to indicate you will not have any problem in sharing the location on your next trip or trip.
- The first thing you should do is access the Google Maps application . But if you are one of those who still do not have it downloaded, here are the links for you to install it on your mobile:
- Once you have accessed the App, select the drop-down menu .
- Now select the option "Share location" .
If you have not signed in with your Gmail and password, it will redirect you to do so.
- Next, the screen will show your location on the map, and you can click "Start" .
You will see two options appear:
- You can manually set the time interval during which you want to share location using the - or + buttons
- You can also choose "Until you deactivate this option" then you will stop sending the location when you close the Google Maps application.
- The next step is to select the person to share location with from the contact list, to do this, click on "Choose people" .
If this is the first time you use this option, Google Maps will ask you for permission to access your contact list, it will show you a screen like this, where you must select "Activate".
In addition to the "Choose people" option, you can also share your location via text message .
And if you access "More" , you will generate a link that you can share by:
- Social media
- E-mail (only if the selected contact has an associated Gmail account)
Option "Tell where you are going" in real time on Google Maps
One of the options that I like the most and the one that I find the most useful, is undoubtedly the option of sharing location in real time while we are on the way.
That is, we can indicate exactly where we are going, which can avoid more than one concern in the face of an unexpected delay.
To use this function, you need to be on the navigation map, and by expanding the options that will appear at the bottom of the screen, you will see the option "Say where you are going . "
You can share it by:
- SMS
- Social media
This function will stop being active automatically once you have reached your destination.
Another interesting aspect is that when you share a location, it also shows what% of battery we have left , because it is possible that we are fair and our mobile turns off.
]When the person with whom we share location sees that our battery is in the last, they will know the reason why we do not appear on the map or we cannot answer their calls.
