If you share your location within Maps itself - by selecting a contact as opposed to sending a link via an external app - the person with whom you are sharing your location will get a notification on their phone. Your phone may prompt you to give Maps ongoing access to your location before it moves forward. On an iPhone, tap “Select People” to choose a person from your contacts, select “Message” to send a private link to someone in your messaging app, or select “More” to send a private link via another communication service. You can also opt to copy the link to your system clipboard and then paste it wherever you like. On Android, select the person with whom you want to share your location from the list of suggested contacts or select an app (like Gmail or Messages) to send a private link. If you want to share your location indefinitely - until you manually turn it off - select the “Until you turn this off” option. GRID MAPPING ON GOOGLE MY MAPS PLUS
If you want to share your location for a specific amount of time, select the “1 hour” option, and then use the blue plus and minus buttons to increase or decrease the time as needed. (If it’s your first time using Maps for such a purpose, your phone may prompt you to authorize the app to access your contacts before continuing.) Tap the blue dot, which represents your current location, then select “Share location” from the menu that appears. GRID MAPPING ON GOOGLE MY MAPS ANDROID
Open the Maps app on your iOS or Android device.
You can request that the person you’re sharing your location with share theirs back. While you’re sharing, you’ll be reminded via a box at the bottom of the screen. You can choose how long you want to share your location
