The answer to 'where are you?' is only a tap away.This new feature would help people find each other in crowded spaces like concerts, and users can control who exactly sees their whereabouts. Resnick writes:When you're sharing your location, the people you've chosen to share with will see you on their map. And you'll see an icon above the compass on your own map reminding you that you're actively sharing your location. You can change your mind and stop sharing at any time—it's entirely up to you.For everyone who is consistently late, the update also lets you to share your "trip progress" with chosen contacts by tapping the "Share Trip" option. This shows selected friends your expected time of arrival, as well as your progress, so no stopping for coffee on the way. Image via Google However, some people are squeamish about location-sharing.
