Google maps allows sharing the location in real time (routes included)

This that we are going to tell you is something like a dream come true, because today we have known that Google Maps allows you to share the location in real time (routes included). This news was told to us this afternoon by the guys from Android Police, and it is a feature that will be coming to Google Maps for Android very soon.

Share the location in real time (routes included) in Maps

Although the guys from Google have been working on this feature for a long time, we could say that it is already official, because it has already been announced that Google Maps will come with the function of sharing location in real time. This will allow users who use the application to share the location from Maps, without having to do so from another third-party app, such as WhatsApp, which also allows it.

But we really like this functionality, because it does not do as WhatsApp that sends the location and that's it, but also, it allows you to share the maps, the route to your destination. In this way, the user will receive direct directions to get there, without having to search for it on their own.

It is a great feature that it includes breadcrumbs, and therefore it is good news for everyone. It's hard to believe how we have been without this for so long, but now we know that it will come soon with one of the app updates.

How is the new Maps used?

To learn more, don't miss the video:

As soon as the app is updated, you will see a new option in the slider to share the location. From there, you can choose who you want to share it with and for how long. You will see as a small bubble and you can share it with whoever you want, including the maps. This is how you can share your location on Maps.

The new Maps will come very soon as we have read on the Google blog. How about? Do you like what's to come?
