How do you provide to your Google Maps location?

Everyone once happened to get lost or try to describe someone exactly where they are. Instead of frustrating, all you have to do is take advantage of the Google Maps location sharing function. It’s a really simple tool that will save your nerves and time.

Two ways to make your location available

In Google Maps you have two options to choose from – You can send a “pinezka” with a specific place or share your location live. The first option works great when you stand still. The second will be useful when you are in motion, for example on the way to the meeting.

How to send a pine from the phone?

This is the easiest way to show someone a specific place:

• Open Google Maps
• Hold your finger in the place you want to mark
• The address and option “Share” will appear at the bottom of the screen
• Select which application you want to send a location (SMS, Messenger, WhatsApp)
• Ready! The recipient will get a link to the map with a marked point

Sharing live location

This function is irreplaceable when you want someone to see where you are currently:

• Click your profile photo on Google Maps
• Select “Sharing locations”
• Set how long you want to be visible (time or until it is turned off)
• Indicate the person you want to show your position

What if you use the computer?

You do not have to reach for the phone – you will also send the location via the browser:

• Go to maps.google.com
• Click on the map or enter the address
• The panel will appear on the left – Find the “Share” button in it
• Copy the link and send it to your friends

Few people look deeper into the Google map settings, It’s a pity – because there are some really useful functions. For example, you can save your favorite places by going to a place without reach you will download the map of the area on your phone. Thanks to this, even without the Internet you will show others where you are. The history of the location is also useful, which will help you return to the places you visited.
